Taxuspine C (1), a new taxoid from the Japanese yew Taxus cuspidata, increasing the cellular accumulation of vincristine (VCR) in multidrug-resistant tumor cells as potent as verapamil enhanced the chemotherapeutic effect of VCR in P388/VCR-bearing mice. When taxuspine C (1) was given i.p. daily at 200 mg/kg with 0.2 mg/kg VCR for 5 days, a treated/control (T/C) value of 138% was obtained. The other new taxoids, taxezopidines G (8) and H (9), from the yew also increased the VCR accumulation as potent as verapamil. These results suggest that some taxoids may be useful for overcoming multidrug resistance in tumor cells.
紫杉刺碱C(1)是从日本红豆杉(Taxus cuspidata)中分离得到的一种新型紫杉烷类化合物,它能像维拉帕米一样有效地增加多药耐药肿瘤细胞中长春新碱(VCR)的细胞内蓄积,增强VCR对携带P388/VCR小鼠的化疗效果。当以200 mg/kg的剂量每日腹腔注射紫杉刺碱C(1)并联合0.2 mg/kg的VCR给药5天时,治疗组与对照组(T/C)的值为138%。从红豆杉中分离得到的其他新型紫杉烷类化合物,紫杉氮杂环丁烷G(8)和H(9),也能像维拉帕米一样有效地增加VCR的蓄积。这些结果表明,某些紫杉烷类化合物可能有助于克服肿瘤细胞中的多药耐药性。
