Benzydamine rescues ethanol-induced teratogenesis in zebrafish FASD model.

ABSTRACT: Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) are a group of physical, behavioral, and cognitive impairments caused by ethanol exposure during pregnancy. Zebrafish have emerged as a useful model for researching FASD and its variants in recent years. Oxidative stress has been identified as the primary damaging pathway, notwithstanding the possibility of other mechanisms at play. In this regard it's important to put an effort towards antioxidants which can exhibits and bare a potential to counteract the oxidative stress induced by ethanol during embryos development. Previosuly benzydamine has shown to protect macrophages against ethanol-induced condition by stabilizing redox homeostatis. This study aims to repurpose the Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) benzydamine to mitigate ethanol-i
