Overexpression of ABCB1 confers resistance to FLT3 inhibitor FN-1501 in cancer cells: in vitro and in vivo characterization.

FN-1501 is a potent FLT3 inhibitor with antitumor activity. A phase 1 trial of FN-1501 monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors and R/R AML is in progress. Since one of the primary causes of multidrug resistance (MDR) is the overexpression of ATP-binding cassette superfamily B member 1 (ABCB1), the objective of this study was to investigate the potential relationship between FN-1501 and the ABCB1 transporter.

Synthesis and preliminary evaluation of anti-HIV agent AZT prodrug.

In this research, phosphate and thiophosphate prodrugs 3a, 3b of anti-HIV agent AZT were synthesized, and their anti-HIV activities and cytotoxicities were investigated in vitro. Results showed that the prodrugs 3a and 3b with an IC50 value of 11.0 and 4.
