Abstract：
:Multidrug resistance (MDR) cells can be sensitized to anticancer drugs when treated concomitantly with chemosensitizers. In this study, chemosensitizing effects of 5,6,7,3',4'-pentamethoxyflavone (sinensetin) and its analogs were investigated with respect to in vitro efficacy and structure-activity relationship. Sinensetin reversed the resistance of P-glycoprotein (Pgp)-overexpressing AML-2/D100 to vincristine in a concentration-dependent manner. Chemosensitizing effect of sinensetin was 10- and 18-fold higher than those of 5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavone and 3,7-dihydroxy-3',4'-dimethoxyflavone, respectively. Sinensetin cytotoxicity in AML-2/D100 was not changed by the complete inhibition of Pgp, suggesting that it is not a substrate for Pgp. Flow cytometry showed that sinensetin increased drug accumulation in the AML-2/D100 in a concentration-dependent manner. Unlike verapamil and cyclosporin A, the maximum non-cytotoxic concentrations of sinensetin were found to decrease the Pgp levels. Azidopine-binding assay showed that cyclosporin A or verapamil inhibited azidopine binding on Pgp partially but sinensetin did not. Taken together, these results suggest that sinensetin has a chemosensitizing effect in reversing Pgp-mediated MDR by increasing the intracellular accumulation of drugs without competition in a binding site of azidopine. Thus, sinensetin is anticipated as a novel and highly potent second-generation flavonoid chemosensitizer, since sinensetin has significant advantages of having a high therapeutic index, of being a non-transportable inhibitor, and of effecting no induction of Pgp.
