The selective modulation of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) efflux pumps overexpressed in multidrug resistant cancers (MDR) and attendant resensitization to chemotherapeutic agents represent a promising strategy for treating cancer. We have synthesized four novel pentacyclic Strychnos alkaloids alstolucines B (2), F (3), and A (5) and N-demethylalstogucine (4), in addition to known Strychnos alkaloid echitamidine (16), and we evaluated compounds 1-5 in biochemical assays with ABCC10 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Alstolucines B (2) and F (3) inhibited ABCC10 ATPase activity at 12.5 μM without affecting P-gp function; moreover, they resensitized ABCC10-transfected cell lines to paclitaxel at 10 μM. Altogether, the alstolucines represent promising lead candidates in the development of modulators of ABCC10 for MDR cancers overexpressing this pump.
对多药耐药性癌症(MDR)中过表达的ATP结合盒(ABC)外排泵进行选择性调节以及随之而来的对化疗药物重新致敏,是一种很有前景的癌症治疗策略。我们合成了四种新型五环马钱子生物碱阿尔斯托鲁辛B(2)、F(3)和A(5)以及N-去甲基阿尔斯托古辛(4),此外还合成了已知的马钱子生物碱埃奇他米定(16),并在与ABCC10和P-糖蛋白(P-gp)的生化测定中评估了化合物1-5。阿尔斯托鲁辛B(2)和F(3)在12.5 μM时抑制ABCC10 ATP酶活性,而不影响P-gp功能;此外,它们在10 μM时使转染了ABCC10的细胞系对紫杉醇重新致敏。总之,阿尔斯托鲁辛是开发针对过表达该泵的MDR癌症的ABCC10调节剂的有前景的先导候选物。
