Aim: Annonaceous acetogenin 89-2 was obtained from atemoya plant. To investigate the effect of 89-2 on experimental chemotherapy against xenografts derived from multidrug resistant KBv200 cells and parental drug-sensitive KB cells.

Methods: Cytotoxicity was determined by tetrazolium (MTT) assay. The models of KB and KBv200 xenografts in nude mice were established to investigate the effect of 89-2 on experimental chemotherapy against cancer in vivo. Mechanistic experiments were conducted to examine the function of P-gp by Fura 2-AM assay.

Results: The compound 89-2 showed potent cytotoxicity in KBv200 and KB cells, and the mean IC50 of 89-2 to KBv200 and KB cells was 48.7 and 64.6 nmol.L-1, respectively. The IC50 of 89-2 to multidrug resistant (MDR) cells was similar to that to the parental drug-sensitive cells (P < 0.05). In the models of KBv200 and KB cell xenografts in nude mice, 89-2 (0.90 mg.kg-1, q2d x 6) exhibited 52.3% and 56.5% in inhibiting the growth of xenografts, respectively. The toxicity was endurable. The intracellular accumulation of Fura-2 in KBv200 cells increased to 1.66, 2.03, and 2.74-fold, respectively, by addition of 12.8, 64 and 320 nmol.L-1 of 89-2.

Conclusion: Both MDR KBv200 cells and parental drug-sensitive KB cells were sensitive to the treatment of 89-2 in vitro and in vivo. The mechanism of overcoming MDR was associated with the decrease of P-gp function MDR cells.

The State Key Laboratory of Basis and New Drug Development of Natural and Nuclear Drugs, Institute of Medicinal Plant Development, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, 100193, Beijing, China. Electronic address:

Compound 5p is a 4β-N-substituted podophyllotoxin derivative, which exhibited potent activity toward drug-resistant K562/A02 cells and decreased MDR-1 mRNA expression. Here, we further investigated its detail mechanism and tested its antitumor activity. 5p exerted catalytic inhibition of topoisomerase IIα, and didn't show the inhibitor of topoisomerase I.

Inspired by the structure of dysoxylactam A (DLA) that has been demonstrated to reverse P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR) effectively, 61 structurally simplified cyclolipopeptides were thus designed and synthesized via an effective method, and their reversing P-gp-mediated MDR potentials were evaluated, which provided a series of more potent analogues and allowed us to explore their structure-activity relationship (SAR). Among them, a well-simplified compound, , with only two chiral centers that all derived from amino acids dramatically reversed drug resistance in KBV200 cells at 10 μM in combination with vinorelbine (VNR), paclitaxel (PTX), and adriamycin (ADR), respectively, which is more promising than DLA. The mechanism study showed that reversed the MDR of tumor cells by inhibiting the transport function of P-gp rather than reducing its expression.

Natural macrocycles have shown impressive activity to overcome P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR). However, the total synthesis and structural modification of natural macrocycles are challenging, which would hamper the deeper investigations of their structure-activity relationship (SAR) and drug likeness. Herein, we describe a modular biomimetic strategy to expeditiously achieve a new class of macrocycles featuring polysubstituted 1,3-diene, which efficiently inhibited P-gp and reversed MDR in cancer cells.
