Novel furoxan-based nitric oxide (NO)-releasing DDB derivatives (7a-j) were synthesized. Compounds 7i and 7j significantly reversed the resistance of MCF-7/Adr cells to doxorubicin in the combination treatment, and markedly increased the intracellular accumulation of doxorubicin probably via inhibiting Pgp-mediated intracellular drug efflux as well as down-regulating doxorubicin-induced Pgp expression. It was demonstrated that NO released by 7i and 7j played an important role in increasing intracellular doxorubicin accumulation and chemo-sensitizing MCF-7/Adr cells to doxorubicin, and the synergic effects of DDB and NO-donor moieties in 7i and 7j may contribute to reversing Pgp-mediated MDR in MCF-7/Adr cells to doxorubicin.
新型基于呋咱的一氧化氮(NO)释放 DDB 衍生物(7a-j)被合成。化合物 7i 和 7j 在联合治疗中显著逆转了 MCF-7/Adr 细胞对阿霉素的耐药性,并通过抑制 Pgp 介导的细胞内药物外排以及下调阿霉素诱导的 Pgp 表达,显著增加了细胞内阿霉素的积累。结果表明,7i 和 7j 释放的 NO 在增加细胞内阿霉素积累和增敏 MCF-7/Adr 细胞对阿霉素方面发挥了重要作用,并且 7i 和 7j 中的 DDB 和 NO 供体部分的协同作用可能有助于逆转 MCF-7/Adr 细胞对阿霉素的 Pgp 介导的多药耐药性。
