The synthesis of tetrahydroquinolines via the Povarov reaction has been developed using Ce(SO2)4 as a catalyst. This efficient protocol allowed the toxicity and phenotypic study of these products using a zebrafish embryo model.

With the increasing emergence of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains, new and effective antibiotics against tuberculosis (TB) are urgently needed. However, the high frequency of poorly water-soluble compounds among hits in high-throughput drug screening (HTS) campaigns is a major obstacle in drug discovery. Moreover, in vivo testing using conventional animal TB models such as mice is time-consuming and costly, and represents a major bottleneck in lead compound discovery and development. Here, we report the use of the zebrafish embryo TB model, to evaluate the in vivo toxicity and efficacy of five poorly water-soluble nitronaphthofuran derivatives, which were recently identified to possess anti-tuberculosis activity in vitro. To aid solubilization compounds were formulated in biocompatible polymeric micelles (PM). Three of the five PM-formulated nitronaphthofuran derivatives showed low toxicity in vivo, significantly reduced bacterial burden and improved survival in infected zebrafish embryos. We propose the zebrafish embryo TB-model as a quick and sensitive tool for evaluating in vivo toxicity and efficacy of new anti-TB compounds during early stages of drug development. Thus, this model is well suited to pinpoint promising compounds for further development.

The aim of the study. The aim of the work was to investigate in vivo anticancer activity of cis- and trans-diadamanthylcarboxylates of dirhenium(III) alone and together with cisplatin in form of nanobins.Materials and methods. Model of tumor growth, Guerin’s carcinoma; intraperitoneal administration of cisplatin, dirhenium(III) compounds in liposomes and of binary liposomes, containing both cytostatics; volumes and final weights of tumors were measured.Results. In vivo antitumor properties of two dirhenium(III) dicarboxylates with 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid moieties as ligands with cis- (I) and trans- (II) orientation of the carboxylic groups around a cluster fragment alone and together with cisplatin were presented; an attempt to understand differences in a possible mechanism of anticancer activity of the substances were undertaken. Antiradical and DNA-binding properties of I and II were the matter of consideration.Conclusions. Cis- and trans- compounds of dirhenium I and II had close antitumor activity in vivo with a little bit superiority of the cis- analog. Mechanisms of anticancer activity of I and II are different and may also include monofunctional adduct formation and subsequent interstrand cross-linking for the II substance, formation of protein-DNA cross-links, etc.
