Multidrug resistance proteins (MRPs) mediate the ATP-dependent efflux of structurally diverse compounds, including anticancer drugs and physiologic organic anions. Five classes of chalcogenopyrylium dyes (CGPs) were examined for their ability to modulate transport of [3H]estradiol glucuronide (E217 β G; a prototypical MRP substrate) into MRP-enriched inside-out membrane vesicles. Additionally, some CGPs were tested in intact transfected cells using a calcein efflux assay. Sixteen of 34 CGPs inhibited MRP1-mediated E217 β G uptake by >50% (IC50 values: 0.7–7.6 µ M). Of 9 CGPs with IC50 values ≤2 µ M, two belonged to class I, two to class III, and five to class V. When tested in the intact cells, only 4 of 16 CGPs (at 10 µ M) inhibited MRP1-mediated calcein efflux by >50% (III-1, V-3, V-4, V-6), whereas a fifth (I-5) inhibited efflux by just 23%. These five CGPs also inhibited [3H]E217 β G uptake by MRP4. In contrast, their effects on MRP2 varied, with two (V-4, V-6) inhibiting E217 β G transport (IC50 values: 2.0 and 9.2 µ M) and two (V-3, III-1) stimulating transport (>2-fold), whereas CGP I-5 had no effect. Strikingly, although V-3 and V-4 had opposite effects on MRP2 activity, they are structurally identical except for their chalcogen atom (Se versus Te). This study is the first to identify class V CGPs, with their distinctive methine or trimethine linkage between two disubstituted pyrylium moieties, as a particularly potent class of MRP modulators, and to show that, within this core structure, differences in the electronegativity associated with a chalcogen atom can be the sole determinant of whether a compound will stimulate or inhibit MRP2.
多药耐药蛋白(MRPs)介导结构多样化化合物(包括抗癌药物和生理有机阴离子)的ATP依赖性外排。研究了五类硫族吡啶染料(CGPs)对[3H]雌二醇葡萄糖苷(E217 β G;一种典型的MRP底物)进入富含MRP的内侧外翻膜囊泡的调节能力。此外,某些CGPs在完整的转染细胞中使用钙黄绿素外排测定进行了测试。在34种CGPs中,有16种抑制了MRP1介导的E217 β G摄取超过50%(IC50值:0.7–7.6 µM)。在9种IC50值≤2 µM的CGPs中,两个属于I类,两个属于III类,五个属于V类。在完整细胞测试中,仅有16种CGPs中的4种(在10 µM浓度下)抑制了MRP1介导的钙黄绿素外排超过50%(III-1, V-3, V-4, V-6),而第五种(I-5)仅抑制了23%。这五种CGPs还抑制了MRP4对[3H]E217 β G的摄取。相较之下,它们对MRP2的影响各不相同,其中两种(V-4, V-6)抑制了E217 β G的运输(IC50值:2.0和9.2 µM),两种(V-3, III-1)则刺激了运输(>2倍),而CGP I-5没有任何影响。值得注意的是,尽管V-3和V-4对MRP2活性的影响相反,但它们的结构除了硫族原子(Se与Te)外是完全相同的。本研究首次识别了V类CGPs,它们具有独特的亚甲基或三亚甲基连接两个双取代吡啶基团,作为特别有效的MRP调节剂,并表明在这一核心结构内,与硫族原子相关的电负性差异可以是决定化合物是刺激还是抑制MRP2的唯一因素。
