We assessed the effect of the protein kinase C inhibitor 2,6-diamino-N-([1-(1-oxotridecyl)-2-piperidinyl]methyl)hexanami de (NPC 15437) on the action of anthracyclines, epipodophyllotoxins and vinca alkaloids in P-glycoprotein (Pgp)-expressing CH(R)C5 hamster ovary and MCF-7/Adria(R) human breast cancer cells. Flow microfluorimetry revealed that treatment of CH(R)C5 cells with 75 microM NPC 15437 for 1 h resulted in a 6- to 10-fold increase in the nuclear accumulation of daunorubicin. Colony forming assays revealed that treatment with 75 microM NPC 15437 was associated with a 4-fold decrease in the LD90 for etoposide and a 2.5-fold decrease in the LD50 for vincristine. At higher concentrations of NPC 15437, greater modulation of anthracycline accumulation was observed; but NPC 15437 itself inhibited subsequent colony formation. Similar effects on drug accumulation and cytotoxicity were observed in MCF-7/Adria(R) cells. Experiments designed to investigate the mechanism by which NPC 15437 exerts these effects revealed that treatment with the protein kinase C activator phorbol-12-myristate 12-acetate partially reversed the effect of NPC 15437, suggesting that NPC 15437 was exerting an effect through protein kinase C. Photoaffinity labeling experiments revealed that NPC 15437 also inhibited the binding of [3H]-azidopine to Pgp in isolated membrane vesicles. These results identify NPC 15437 [correction of NPC15437] as the prototype of a new class of potential Pgp modulators but indicate that the effects of this agent as a modulator are potentially limited by its cytotoxicity.

The ATP-binding cassette transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is known to limit both brain penetration and oral bioavailability of many chemotherapy drugs. Although US Food and Drug Administration guidelines require that potential interactions of investigational drugs with P-gp be explored, often this information does not enter the literature. In response, we developed a high-throughput screen to identify substrates of P-gp from a series of chemical libraries, testing a total of 10,804 compounds, most of which have known mechanisms of action. We used the CellTiter-Glo viability assay to test library compounds against parental KB-3-1 human cervical adenocarcinoma cells and the colchicine-selected subline KB-8-5-11 that overexpresses P-gp. KB-8-5-11 cells were also tested in the presence of a P-gp inhibitor (tariquidar) to assess reversibility of transporter-mediated resistance. Of the tested compounds, a total of 90 P-gp substrates were identified, including 55 newly identified compounds. Substrates were confirmed using an orthogonal killing assay against human embryonic kidney-293 cells overexpressing P-gp. We confirmed that AT7159 (cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor), AT9283, (Janus kinase 2/3 inhibitor), ispinesib (kinesin spindle protein inhibitor), gedatolisib (PKI-587, phosphoinositide 3-kinase/mammalian target of rampamycin inhibitor), GSK-690693 (AKT inhibitor), and KW-2478 (heat-shock protein 90 inhibitor) were substrates. In addition, we assessed direct ATPase stimulation. ABCG2 was also found to confer high levels of resistance to AT9283, GSK-690693, and gedatolisib, whereas ispinesib, AT7519, and KW-2478 were weaker substrates. Combinations of P-gp substrates and inhibitors were assessed to demonstrate on-target synergistic cell killing. These data identified compounds whose oral bioavailability or brain penetration may be affected by P-gp. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The ATP-binding cassette transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is known to be expressed at barrier sites, where it acts to limit oral bioavailability and brain penetration of substrates. In order to identify novel compounds that are transported by P-gp, we developed a high-throughput screen using the KB-3-1 cancer cell line and its colchicine-selected subline KB-8-5-11. We screened the Mechanism Interrogation Plate (MIPE) library, the National Center for Advancing Translational Science (NCATS) pharmaceutical collection (NPC), the NCATS Pharmacologically Active Chemical Toolbox (NPACT), and a kinase inhibitor library comprising 977 compounds, for a total of 10,804 compounds. Of the 10,804 compounds screened, a total of 90 substrates were identified of which 55 were novel. P-gp expression may adversely affect the oral bioavailability or brain penetration of these compounds.
