Abstract

were determined by RT-PCR as developmental indicators. MTS and RT-cell analysis showed increased cell viability by NSA, whereas SSA decreased cell viability. NSA beneficially affected zebrafish embryo development while SSA exerted deleterious effects through oxidant-antioxidant status, inflammation, and development. Results of our study showed for the first time that synthesis of salicylic acid from wintergreen oil by green chemistry overcomes its cytotoxicity in keratinocyte cells and teratogenicity in zebrafish embryos. This finding is important for drug research on safe topical applications during pregnancy, when preventing exposure to drug and chemical-derived teratogens is vital.
