p388/adr

Zosuquidar trihydrochloride (LY-335979 trihydrochloride) is a potent modulator of P-glycoprotein-mediated multi-drug resistance with Ki of 60 nM. Phase 3.

Dihydrocytochalasin B (H2CB) is a cell division inhibitor that prevents cytokinesis, alters cell morphology, disrupts actin structures in Swiss/3T3 mouse fibroblasts, and inhibits DNA synthesis induced by serum growth factors in quiescent cultures. Low doses of H2CB lead to cell rounding and the loss of actin microfilament bundles.

A 30312 is a fused indole, which overcomes multidrug resistance in P388/Adr cells in vitro. It potentiates the cytotoxicity of the antitumor drugs Adriamycin, vincristine and vinblastine in multidrug-resistant cells with no effect on drug-sensitive parent P388 cells.

FD-211 is a δ lactone originally isolated from M. lutea with anticancer activity.1 It is cytotoxic to adriamycin-susceptible P388, T-24, HeLa, A549, and HL-60 cancer cells (IC50s = 4, 0.5, 1, 1, and 0.2 μg/ml, respectively), as well as adriamycin-resistant HL-60/ADR cells (IC50 = 0.1 μg/ml). FD-211 also inhibits DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis in HeLa cells (IC50 = 1.25 μg/ml for all). |1. Nozawa, O., Okazaki, T., Sakai, N., et al. A novel bioactive δ lactone FD-211.
