Antitumor Agents 260. New Desmosdumotin B Analogues with Improved In Vitro Anticancer Activity
摘要:
Sixteen analogues (3-16, 33, and 48) of the unique flavonoid desmosdumotin B (1) were prepared and evaluated as in vitro inhibitors of the human KB cancer cell line and its MDR subclone, KB-VIN. 6,8,8-Triethyl analogues 10-13 showed enhanced KB-VIN selectivity. In particular, 4'-alkyl derivatives 11 (4'-Me) and 12 (4'-Et) showed significant ED50 values of 0.03 and 0.025 mu g/mL, respectively, against KB-VIN with selectivities of > 460- and 320-fold compared with that of KB. This report is the first to describe compounds showing such high activity against MDR cells versus non-MDR cells. The unique activity of 1-analogues is likely MDR-mediated because cotreatment with verapamil, a P-gp inhibitor, partially reversed the selective toxicity of both 1 and 10. Interestingly, only 1-analogues with a naphthalene B-ring (8 and 14) showed significant cytotoxic activity against KB; and other cancer cell lines. Thus, 1-analogues might be a new class of potent drug candidates, especially as 11 and 12 express direct selective action against tumors expressing MDR.

6,6,8-Triethyldesmosdumotin B (2) was discovered as a MDR-selective flavonoid with significant in vitro anticancer activity against a multidrug resistant (MDR) cell line (KB-VIN) but without activity against the parent cells (KB). Additional 2 analogues were synthesized and evaluated to determine the effect of B-ring modifications on MDR-selectivity. Analogues with a B-ring Me (3) or Et (4) group had substantially increased MDR selectivity. Three new disubstituted analogues, 35, 37, and 49, also had high collateral sensitivity (CS) indices of 273, 250, and 100, respectively. Furthermore, 2-4 also displayed MDR selectivity in an MDR hepatoma-cell system. While 2-4 showed either no or very weak inhibition of cellular P-glycoprotein (P-gp) activity, they either activated or inhibited the actions of the first generation P-gp inhibitors verapamil or cyclosporin, respectively.
