S 9788, a new triazinoaminopiperidine derivative, was found to be a potent reversant of vincristine resistance in the in vivo murine leukemic P388/VCR model. In two treatment regimens (Q4D days 1, 5 and 9 and QD days 1-9), S 9788 enhanced the antitumor activity of vincristine in a dose-dependent manner, resulting in a complete circumvention of drug resistance for well-tolerated doses of S 9788. S 9788 was also effective in enhancing therapeutic effects of vincristine in the treatment of sensitive P388-bearing mice. These results strongly suggest that S 9788 may be a potential candidate for circumvention of multidrug resistance (MDR) in clinical practice.
