The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of newly synthesized 4-aryl-1,4-dihydropyridine and pyridines on drug efflux mediated by multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1, ABCC1). These compounds were designed to maximize inhibition of P-glycoprotein and minimize calcium channel binding activity, based on structure modifications of niguldipine. A [3H]vinblastine accumulation study was conducted in human small cell lung cancer H69AR (overexpressing MRP1) and wild type H69 cells. Five out of 16 dihydropyridines and 6 out of 9 pyridines were found to significantly increase the intracellular accumulation of vinblastine in resistant H69AR cells (p<0.01) at a concentration of 2.5 microM. Daunomycin accumulation studies, determined using a flow cytometric assay, were also performed in H69AR and human pancreatic adenocarcinoma Panc-1 cells and the results were highly correlated with those obtained from the [3H]vinblastine accumulation studies. Four compounds, which significantly increased vinblastine accumulation, were tested for their effect on daunomycin cytotoxicity in H69AR cells and found to significantly decrease the IC50 of daunomycin, confirming the accumulation study results. Compounds were also tested for their effect on intracellular glutathione (GSH) concentrations, a cosubstrate for MRP1-mediated efflux in H69AR and Panc-1 cells. No significant changes in the intracellular GSH level were observed in H69AR cells after treatment with these test compounds. However, following a 2-hr and 24-hr incubation with a dihydropyridine compound, Im, and its pyridine derivative IIm, there was a small (approximately 20%) but statistically significant decrease in intracellular GSH in Panc-1 cells. Our results indicate that some dihydropyridine and pyridine compounds in our series could inhibit MRP1-mediated transport and that GSH modulation plays a minor, if any, role in this effect.

ABCG2 confers resistance to cancer cells by mediating the ATP-dependent outward efflux of chemotherapeutic compounds. Recent studies have indicated that the protein contains a number of interconnected drug binding sites. The present investigation examines the coupling of drug binding to ATP hydrolysis. Initial drug binding to the protein requires a high-affinity interaction with the drug binding site, followed by transition and reorientation to the low-affinity state to enable dissociation at the extracellular face. [3H]Daunomycin binding to the ABCG2 R482G isoform was examined in the nucleotide-bound and post-hydrolytic conformations. Binding of [3H]daunomycin was displaced by ATP analogues, indicating transition to a low-affinity conformation prior to hydrolysis. The low-affinity state was observed to be retained immediately post-hydrolysis. Therefore, the dissociation of phosphate and/or ADP is likely to be responsible for resetting of the transporter. The data indicate that, like ABCB1 and ABCC1, the 'power stroke' for translocation in ABCG2 R482G is the binding of nucleotide.

Daunorubicin (DAUN) has served as an anticancer drug in chemotherapy regimens for decades and is still irreplaceable in treatment of acute leukemias. The therapeutic outcome of DAUN-based therapy is compromised by its cardiotoxicity and emergence of drug resistance. This phenomenon is often caused by pharmacokinetic mechanisms such as efflux of DAUN from cancer cells through ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters and its conversion to less cytostatic but more cardiotoxic daunorubicinol (DAUN-OL) by carbonyl reducing enzymes (CREs). Here we aimed to investigate, whether two cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, AZD5438 and R547, can interact with these pharmacokinetic mechanisms and reverse DAUN resistance. Using accumulation assays, we revealed AZD5438 as potent inhibitor of ABCC1 showing also weaker inhibitory effect to ABCB1 and ABCG2. Combination index analysis, however, shown that inhibition of ABCC1 does not significantly contribute to synergism between AZD5438 and DAUN in MDCKII-ABCC1 cells, suggesting predominant role of other mechanism. Using pure recombinant enzymes, we found both tested drugs to inhibit CREs with aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3). This interaction was further confirmed in transfected HCT-116 cells. Moreover, these cells were sensitized to DAUN by both compounds as Chou-Talalay combination index analysis showed synergism in AKR1C3 transfected HCT-116, but not in empty vector transfected control cell line. In conclusion, we propose AZD5438 and R547 as modulators of DAUN resistance that can prevent AKR1C3-mediated DAUN biotransformation to DAUN-OL. This interaction could be beneficially exploited to prevent failure of DAUN-based therapy as well as the undesirable cardiotoxic effect of DAUN-OL.
