Synthesis, Conformational Analysis, and Cytotoxicity of New Analogues of the Natural Cyclodepsipeptide Jaspamide

Three analogues of the natural bioactive cyclodepsipeptide jaspamide (3-5) were efficiently synthesized using a combination of solid and solution phase techniques. The preliminary design of the molecules has involved the rational substitution and/or simplification of the most critical structural features of the lead compound. The synthetic products were subjected to pharmacological assays, and the conformational properties were investigated by MM (molecular mechanics) and MD (molecular dynamics) calculations, to describe the potential pharmacophoric core responsible for the observed activitie

Data from: Computational 3D histological phenotyping of whole zebrafish by X-ray histotomography

Organismal phenotypes frequently involve multiple organ systems. Histology is a powerful way to detect cellular and tissue phenotypes, but is largely descriptive and subjective. To determine how synchrotron-based X-ray micro-tomography (micro-CT) can yield 3-dimensional whole-organism images suitable for quantitative histological phenotyping, we scanned whole zebrafish, a small vertebrate model with diverse tissues, at ~1 micron voxel resolutions. Using micro-CT optimized for cellular characterization (histo-tomography), brain nuclei can be computationally segmented and assigned to brain regions. Shape and volume can be computed for populations of nuclei, motor neurons and red blood cells. Computed cell density revealed striking individual phenotypic variation. Unlike histology, histo-tomography allows the detection of phenotypes that require millimeter scale context in multiple planes. We expect the computational and visual insights into 3D tissue architecture provided by histo-tomography to be useful for reference atlases, hypothesis generation, comprehensive organismal screens, and diagnostics

Striking individual phenotypic variation was apparent from color maps of computed densities of brain nuclei. Unlike histology, the histotomography also allows the study of 3-dimensional structures of millimeter scale that cross multiple tissue planes. We expect the computational and visual insights into 3D cell and tissue architecture provided by histotomography to be useful for reference atlases, hypothesis generation, comprehensive organismal screens, and diagnostics
