Introduction: The reason for unsuccessful tumor chemotherapy is related to multidrug resistance. An important factor is the overexpression of efflux pumps, such as P-glycoprotein. Aim: Amino- and amide-substituted steroid compounds and phenothiazine derivatives were investigated in tumor models in vitro. Method: The inhibition of P-glycoprotein was evaluated by flow cytometry and the interaction of these compounds with doxorubicin was investigated as well. Molecular docking was used to estimate the binding energies of the compounds to P-glycoprotein. Results: The aminosteroids showed anticancer activity on multidrug resistant mouse T-lymphoma and prostate cancer cell lines. The combination of steroids and doxorubicin potentiated its effect in hormone resistant prostate cancer cells. Among the N-hydroxyalkyl-2-aminophenothiazines, secondary amines exhibited anticancer effects on multidrug resistant colon adenocarcinoma cells. Conclusions: The tested phenothiazine and steroid derivatives showed potent anticancer activity, furthermore, the stereoisomerism of thioridazine did not play a role in the antitumor properties. Neither steroids nor thioridazine influenced apoptosis in hormone resistant cells. Orv. Hetil., 2016, 157(37), 1489–1495.

Channel Currents

MDR (multidrug-resistance) represents a major obstacle to successful cancer chemotherapy and is usually accomplished by overexpression of P-gp (P-glycoprotein). Much effort has been devoted to developing P-gp inhibitors to modulate MDR. However, none of the inhibitors on the market have been successful. 1416 [1-(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenylethylamino)propane hydrochloride (phenoprolamine hydrochloride)] is a new VER (verapamil) analogue with a higher IC50 for blocking calcium channel currents than VER. In the present paper, we examined the inhibition effect of 1416 on P-gp both in vitro and in vivo. 1416 significantly enhanced cytotoxicity of VBL (vinblastine) in P-gp-overexpressed human multidrug-resistant K562/ADM (adriamycin) and KBV cells, but had no such effect on the parent K562 and KB cells. The MDR-modulating function of 1416 was further confirmed by increasing intracellular Rh123 (rhodanmine123) content in MDR cells. Human K562/ADM xenograft-nude mice model verified that 1416 potentiates the antitumour activity of VBL in vivo. RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase-PCR) and FACS analysis demonstrated that the expression of MDR1/P-gp was not affected by 1416 treatment. All these observations suggest that 1416 could be a promising agent for overcoming MDR in cancer chemotherapy.

✓ Resistance to multiple drugs is often observed in malignant gliomas. The authors used a microtiter tetrazolium test to analyze primary in vitro chemoresistance and chemosensitivity of 15 early cultures of human malignant glioma exposed to 50 µg/ml (1,4-amino-2-methyl-5-pyrimidinyl)-methyl-3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosourea (ACNU), 50 µg/ml cisplatin, 1 µg/ml vincristine, or combinations of these chemotherapeutic agents. Primary chemoresistance was observed in 87% of tumors for ACNU, in 87% for cisplatin, and in 83% for vincristine. All tumors were examined for expression of multidrug-resistant p-glycoprotein, a transport protein of 170,000 D, by means of immunohistochemical staining with the JSB-1 antibody on paraffinized tumor sections. Eight of 15 specimens (53%) showed positive staining for the monoclonal antibody. Primary chemoresistance was overcome by addition of the calcium antagonists verapamil or nimodipine to the cultures if the original tumor expressed p-glycoprotein (p < 0.01 for verapamil, p < 0.05 for nimodipine). In tumors not expressing p-glycoprotein, addition of calcium antagonists to the cell cultures did not influence primary chemoresistance. It is concluded from these data that addition of calcium antagonists to the adjuvant chemotherapy of malignant gliomas might overcome primary chemoresistance in tumors expressing the multidrugresistant phenotype.

New Strategy

Overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and other ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in multidrug resistant (MDR) cancer cells is responsible for the reduction of intracellular drug accumulation, thus decreasing the efficacy of chemotherapeutics. P-gp is also found at endothelial cells’ membrane of the blood-brain barrier, where it limits drug delivery to central nervous system (CNS) tumors. We have previously developed a set of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines and their prodrugs as novel Src tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), showing a significant activity against CNS tumors in in vivo. Here we investigated the interaction of the most promising pair of drug/prodrug with P-gp at the cellular level. The tested compounds were found to increase the intracellular accumulation of Rho 123, and to enhance the efficacy of paclitaxel in P-gp overexpressing cells. Encouraging pharmacokinetics properties and tolerability in vivo were also observed. Our findings revealed a novel role of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines which may be useful for developing a new effective therapy in MDR cancer treatment, particularly against glioblastoma.

Human Sarcoma

Overexpression of an immunologically conserved, cell-surface glycoprotein (P-glycoprotein) is consistently associated with multidrug resistance in cell lines in vitro. A preliminary survey of specimens from 12 solid tumor types in our laboratories indicates significant overexpression of P-glycoprotein in some sarcomas. When tested by immunoblotting with monoclonal antibodies directed against P-glycoprotein; tumors from six of 25 sarcoma patients displayed elevated levels of P-glycoprotein. Three of the sarcoma patients exhibiting P-glycoprotein had not previously been exposed to chemotherapy, implying that overexpression of this marker and possible concomitant multidrug resistance may not depend only on selection during prior drug treatments. The P-glycoprotein overexpression in the sarcoma specimens is evidence for the presence of multidrug resistant cells in these tumors; thus, our data suggest that this mode of resistance may have clinical significance in sarcoma patients.

Polyether ionophores represent a group of natural lipid-soluble biomolecules with a broad spectrum of bioactivity, ranging from antibacterial to anticancer activity. Three seem to be particularly interesting in this context, namely lasalocid acid, monensin, and salinomycin, as they are able to selectively target cancer cells of various origin including cancer stem cells. Due to their potent biological activity and abundant availability, some research groups around the world have successfully followed semi-synthetic approaches to generate original derivatives of ionophores. However, a definitely less explored avenue is the synthesis and functional evaluation of their multivalent structures. Thus, in this paper, we describe the synthetic access to a series of original homo- and heterodimers of polyether ionophores, in which (i) two salinomycin molecules are joined through triazole linkers, or (ii) salinomycin is combined with lasalocid acid, monensin, or betulinic acid partners to form ‘mixed’ dimeric structures. Of note, all 11 products were tested in vitro for their antiproliferative activity against a panel of six cancer cell lines including the doxorubicin resistant colon adenocarcinoma LoVo/DX cell line; five dimers (14–15, 17–18 and 22) were identified to be more potent than the reference agents (i.e., both parent compound(s) and commonly used cytostatic drugs) in selective targeting of various types of cancer. Dimers 16 and 21 were also found to effectively overcome the resistance of the LoVo/DX cancer cell line.

We synthesized eight new bipyridine and bipyrimidine gold (III) dithiocarbamate-containing complexes (C1–C8) and tested them in a panel of human cancer cell lines. We used osteosarcoma (MG-63), lung (A549), prostate (PC3 and DU145), breast (MCF-7), ovarian (A2780 and A2780cis, cisplatin- and doxorubicin-resistant), and cervical (ME-180 and R-ME-180, cisplatin resistant) cancer cell lines. We found that C2, C3, C6, and C7 were more cytotoxic than cisplatin in all cell lines tested and overcame cisplatin and doxorubicin resistance in A2780cis and R-ME-180 cells. In the PC3 prostate cancer cell line, the gold (III) complex C6 ([Au2(BPM)(DMDTC)2]Cl4) induced apoptosis and double-stranded DNA breaks, modified cell cycle phases, increased Reactive Oxigen Species (ROS) generation, and reduced thioredoxin reductase and proteasome activities. It inhibited PC3 cell migration and was more cytotoxic against PC3 cells than normal human adipose-derived stromal cells. In mice bearing PC3 tumor xenografts, C6 reduced tumor growth by more than 70% without causing weight loss. Altogether, our results demonstrate the anticancer activity of these new gold (III) complexes and support the potential of C6 as a new agent for prostate cancer treatment.
