By: M. Dush n, A. McIver n, M. Parr n, D. Young n, J. Fisher n, D. Newman n, P. Sannes n, M. Hauck n, A. Deiters n, N. Nascone-Yoder n

MeSH headings : Animals; Cell Line; Drug Evaluation, Preclinical; Embryo, Nonmammalian / abnormalities; Embryo, Nonmammalian / cytology; Embryo, Nonmammalian / drug effects; Embryo, Nonmammalian / metabolism; Humans; Intracellular Space / drug effects; Intracellular Space / metabolism; Neovascularization, Physiologic / drug effects; Phenotype; Pyridines / chemistry; Pyridines / pharmacology; Signal Transduction / drug effects; Stereoisomerism; Structure-Activity Relationship; Transforming Growth Factor beta / metabolism; Xenopus laevis
TL;DR: A small molecule screen for left-right asymmetry phenotypes in Xenopus embryos is performed and a pyridine analog, heterotaxin, is discovered, which disrupts both cardiovascular and digestive organ laterality and inhibits TGF-β-dependent left- right asymmetric gene expression.
