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.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the magnitude and dose-relatedness of the effect of clarithromycin on the pharmacokinetics of digoxin, and to compare the effects of clarithromycin with those of P-glycoprotein inhibitors. METHODS: Eight Japanese inpatients with congestive heart failure participated in this study. Each patient received oral digoxin therapy for at least 7 days and were coadministered oral clarithromycin to prevent or treat pneumonia. To evaluate the effects of clarithromycin on the pharmacokinetics of digoxin, digoxin concentrations were compared before and after coadministration of clarithromycin. RESULTS: Digoxin concentrations were higher after coadministration of clarithromycin in all patients (before, 0.838 ± 0.329 ng/mL; after, 1.36 ± 0.619 ng/mL); (p < 0.005). A significant correlation was observed between the dose of clarithromycin and the percentage of increase in the digoxin concentration. CONCLUSIONS: Digoxin concentrations increased during concomitant administration of clarithromycin, and this effect was dose-dependent on clarithromycin. The percentage increase in digoxin concentrations after the usual oral dose of clarithromycin (400 mg/d) is approximately 70%. Therefore, digoxin concentrations must be monitored carefully after coadministration of clarithromycin, and the doses of digoxin may need readjustment in patients who are concomitantly receiving clarithromycin.
