Progesterone–adenine hybrids as bivalent inhibitors of P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug efflux: Design, synthesis, characterization and biological evaluation
摘要:
Bivalent ligands were designed on the basis of the described close proximity of the ATP-site and the putative steroid-binding site of P-glycoprotein (ABCB1). The syntheses of 19 progesterone-adenine hybrids are described. Their abilities to inhibit P-glycoprotein-mediated daunorubicin efflux in K562/R7 human leukemic cells overexpressing P-glycoprotein were evaluated versus progesterone. The hybrid with a hexamethylene linker chain showed the best inhibitory potency. The efficiency of these progesterone-adenine hybrids depends on two main factors: (i) the nature of the linker and (ii) its attachment point on the steroid skeleton. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Adenine-arginine mimetics as bisubstrate analog inhibitors of cAMP-dependent protein kinase
摘要:
Simple bisubstrate analogs, Ad-E1-Gn, Ad-E2-Gn, and Ad-E3-Gn, are designed to be proto-type adenine-arginine mimetic structures. Both Ad-E1-Gn and Ad-E2-Gn inhibit PKA with IC50 values similar to that of adenosine at 100 mu M ATP and are more potent inhibitors than adenosine at physiologically relevant 2 mM ATP. Ad-E3-Gn is 10-fold less potent than the other two analogs. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
