- Abstract
[Objectives] Using wild-type AB strain of zebrafish as experimental animal, this study investigated the damaging effect of Wufang Babu Ointment on skin cells, in order to evaluate the skin toxicity of Wufang Babu Ointment. [Methods] Wild-type AB strain of zebrafish with an age of 2 d were taken and fed in different concentrations of Wufang Babu Ointment solution for 24 h. The number of deaths in each group of zebrafish was recorded, and the mortality rate was calculated. Using Origin 8. 0 software, the maximum non lethal concentration (MN-LC) was simulated. Zebrafish raised in different concentrations of Wufang Babu Ointment solution for 24 h were placed under an anatomical microscope for taking photos, to analyze and calculate the incidence of skin damage in zebrafish. Based on the statistical analysis results of this indicator, the skin toxicity of Wufang Babu Ointment was evaluated. [Results] The MNLC of Wufang Babu Ointment on zebrafish was 671 µg/ mL; Wufang Babu Ointment can induce skin damage at the concentrations of 224 µg/mL (1/3 MNLC) and 671 µg/mL (MNLC). [Conclusions] Wufang Babu Ointment had certain skin toxicity to zebrafish.
