Abstract

Various animal models have been used to study the efficacy and action mechanisms of human diseases and medicines. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is increasingly and successfully used as a model in translational research on human diseases. We obtained necessary information from original peer reviewed articles published in scientific 54 journals, such as Pubmed, Google Scholar, Scopus scince their inception until Dec, 2020 using the following terms: zebrafish animal models, herbal medicine, in vivo screening. In this review, we discuss the recent contributions of the various zebrafish disease models to study of herbal medicines. We focused on cancer, eye diseases, vascular diseases, diabetes and its complications, and cosmetic dermatology. We also highlight the molecular action mechanisms of medicines against these disease, demonstrated using zebrafish embryo. Zebrafish can be pivotal in bridging the gap from lab to clinical bedside. It is used as a model to understand human diseases pathogenies with further scope for drug development. Furthermore, zebrafish can reduce rat and mouse animals in biomedical research.

다양한 동물 모델이 인간 질병, 의약품의 효능 및 작용 메커니즘을 연구하는 데 사용되고 있다. Zebrafish(Danio rerio)는 여러 가지 장점이 있어 인간 질병에 대한 중개 연구의 모델로 점점 더 폭넓게 활용되고 있다. 본 논문은 Pubmed, Google Scholar, Scopus에서 2020년 12월까지 최근 10년간 zebrafish 모델, 천연물(한약), in vivo 스크리닝의 키워드를 사용하여 저널에 게재된 논문을 검토하여 필요한 정보를 얻었다. 이 리뷰에서 우리는 천연물(한약) 연구에 대한 다양한 제브라피쉬 질병 모델의 최근 경향에 대해 논의하였다. 특히, 암, 안질환, 혈관 질환, 당뇨병 및 합병증, 피부질환에 중점을 두었고, zebrafish 배아를 사용하여 이들 질병에 대한 의약품의 분자 작용 메커니즘에 관해 언급하였다. Zebrafish는 실험실에서 임상 연구까지의 격차를 줄이는 데 중추적 역할을 할 수 있는 중요한 동물 모델이다. Zebrafish는 의약품이나 화장품 개발, 질병의 병인론을 이해하기 위해 사용되고, 이로 인해 생의학 연구에서 설치류의 사용을 줄이는 데 크게 기여하고 있다.
