Abstract

Synthesis and evaluation of C-aromataxane derivatives as P-glycoprotein-mediated MDR reversal agents have been demonstrated. Several derivatives possessing N-benzoylphenylisoserine at the C2 or C14 position of the template 2a were readily synthesized and were evaluated their affinity for P-glycoprotein. Most of the synthesized derivatives exhibited much lower cytotoxicity in both KB-3-1 cells and MDR KB-G2-cells than paclitaxel (1), and it should be noted that the compound (14R)-5a exhibited high km and Vmax/Kmvalues, and cytotoxicity of paclitaxel (1) in MDR KB-G2 cells was significantly recovered (98% reduction, IC50 30 nM) in the presence of 5a (5.0 μM). The structural features such as endo-cage conformation and the stereochemistry at the C14 position is crucial to exhibit an excellent affinity for P-glycoprotein.
