Amphimedine-treated embryos exhibit heart, yolk and body shape defects. Treatment of embryos seven hours post-fertilization (hpf) with 30 μM amphimedine (amp) resulted in pericardial edema (arrow), extended heart (arrow head), enlarged yolk with thin extension (*), curving of the body and general necrosis at 24 hours post-treatment (hpt; B) and 48 hpt (D) compared to the DMSO-treated controls (A and C, respectively).

Additional developmental defects resulting from amphimedine treatment. In situ hybridization was performed on control (A, C, E, G, I, K, M, O, Q) and treated (B, D, F, H, J, L, N, P, R) embryos harvested at 24 h (ntl, hnf6, myoD, dlx2, otx2, fgf8, zash1a, id6) or 48 h (crx) post treatment. Scale bars, 50 μM. not, notochord; sc, spinal cord; som, somites; pa, pharyngeal arches; fb, forebrain; mb, midbrain; mhb, mid/hindbrain boundary; hb, hindbrain; pfb, pectoral fin bud; e, eye.
