A Pilot Study on Nanotherapy of Momordica charantia against Trimethyltin Chloride-Induced Neurotoxicity in Danio rerio (Zebrafish)

Background. The direct or indirect effect of chemicals on the nervous system of humans or animals is referred to as neurotoxicity. Trimethyltin chloride (TMT) intoxication causes behavioral and cognitive deficiencies in humans and experimental animals. TMT has long been used as a model toxicant in t...

The histopathological findings indicate that the tissues of the fish infected with the extract had no pathological modifications. Conclusion. The M. charantia showed higher antioxidant activity and anticholinesterase activity, and upon further characterization and assessment, this could be a safe and potential drug candidate for Neurotoxicity.Bharathi KumarSiva Vijayakumar TharumasivamVasuki BoominathanElumalai PerumalPrabu DhandapaniKumaravel KaliyaperumalSuresh ArumugamKumaran SubramanianPugazhvendan Sampath RenugaVasanth ShakthivelBupesh GiridharanWilson AruniLokesh Kumar BoopathyHindawi LimitedarticleTechnology (General)T1-995ENJournal of Nanomaterials, Vol 2021 (2021)
