Opis:
The development of multidrug resistance (MDR) of tumors is a major cause of failure in antitumor chemotherapy. This type of crossresistance is due to the expression of ABC transporter glycoproteins actively effluxing the drug from the cells against the concentration gradient at the expense of metabolic energy, thus preventing the accumulation in cells of therapeutic concentration of active agents. In this review strategies for overcoming this adverse phenomenon are discussed. They comprise the control of expression of MDR glycoprotein transporters and control of the functioning of the expressed transporter proteins. The latter approach is discussed in more detail, comprising the following general strategies: (i) development of compounds that are not substrates of efflux pump(s), (ii) use of agents that inactivate (inhibit) MDR proteins, (iii) design of cytostatics characterized by fast cellular uptake, surpassing their mediated efflux, (iv) use of compounds competing with the drug for the MDR protein-mediated efflux. Positive and negative aspects of these strategies are analysed, with special attention put on strategy based on the use of MDR modulators in combination therapy, allowing the restoration of cytotoxic activity of clinical cytostatics towards resistant tumor cells.

Opis:
Two recently synthesized groups of acridine cytostatics containing fused heterocyclic ring(s): pyrazoloacridines (PAC) and pyrazolopyrimidoacridines (PPAC) were tested in regard to their in vitro cytotoxic activity towards a panel of sensitive and resistant human tumor cell lines. The obtained results corroborate our earlier hypothesis on the essential role of heterocyclic ring fused to the acridine moiety in the ability of acridine cytostatics to overcome multidrug resistance of tumor cells. The presence, location and kind of substituents considerably influenced both the cytotoxic activity of the derivatives and their ability to overcome multidrug resistance. The same factors also affected the cytostatics ability to differentiate between tumor cell lines with various types of drug exporting pumps.

Opis:
From the seeds of Acacia confusa, a chitinase-like antifungal protein designated as acaconin that demonstrated antifungal activity toward Rhizoctonia solani with an IC50 of 30±4 µM was isolated. Acaconin demonstrated an N-terminal sequence with pronounced similarity to chitinases and a molecular mass of 32 kDa. It was isolated by chromatography on Q-Sepharose, SP-Sepharose and Superdex 75 and was not bound by either ion exchanger. Acaconin was devoid of chitinase activity. The antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia solani was completely preserved from pH 4 to 10 and from 0°C to 70°C. Congo Red staining at the tips of R. solani hyphae indicated inhibition of fungal growth. However, there was no antifungal activity toward Mycosphaerella arachidicola, Fusarium oxysporum, Helminthosporium maydis, and Valsa mali. Acaconin inhibited proliferation of breast cancer MCF-7 cells with an IC50 of 128±9 µM but did not affect hepatoma HepG2 cells. Its IC50 value toward HIV-1 reverse transcriptase was 10±2.3 µM. The unique features of acaconin include relatively high stability when exposed to changes in ambient pH and temperature, specific antifungal and antitumor actions, potent HIV-reverse transcriptase inhibitory activity, and lack of binding by strongly cationic and anionic exchangers.

A pilot study on relationships of selected molecular factors [erbB-1, erbB-2, erbB-3, and c-myc oncogene average gene copy numbers (AGCN); steroid receptors and pS2 gene expression; tumor cells' DNA values] to the ex vivo chemosensitivity of ovarian cancer in a modified adenosine triphosphate cell viability chemosensitivity assay (ATP-CVA), was performed. Despite the relatively small number of patients, numerous correlations among the factors tested were found. Nevertheless, only c-myc gene dosage positively affected ex vivo chemosensitivity of tumors tested.

Opis:
The present work is part of a wide research project aimed to elucidate the mechanism of the metabolic activation of the antitumor imidazoacridinone agent C-1311 selected for clinical trials. The objectives of the investigations presented here were: (i) to examine the enzymatic transformation of the reference compound 2-hydroxyacridinone and (ii) to test the similarity between enzymatic and electrochemical oxidation of acridinone compounds. This similarity was searched with respect to the usefulness of the electrochemical results for further studies on the metabolic oxidation of imidazoacridinone antitumor drugs. The enzymatic oxidation of 2-hydroxyacridinone was performed with a model system containing various amounts of horseradish peroxidase and hydrogen peroxide and was followed by UV-VIS spectroscopy and by HPLC. One product of the reaction was isolated and its chemical structure was identified. It was shown that 2-hydroxyacridinone was transformed by the studied system in a manner dependent on the amount of the enzyme and on the compound/H2O2 ratio. While under mild reaction conditions the transformation ran slowly to yield only one product, p1, independently of the reaction time, higher enzyme concentration resulted in several steps of transformation. Product p1 turned out to be a dimer: 1,1-bi(2-hydroxyacridinone). A comparison of the results of the enzymatic transformations of 2-hydroxyacridinone presented here with studies on the electrochemical oxidation reported earlier allowed us to show both transformations to be similar as far as the reaction pathway and two reaction products are concerned.

Opis:
The imidazoacridinone derivative C-1311 is an antitumor agent in Phase II clinical trials. The molecular mechanism of enzymatic oxidation of this compound in a peroxidase model system was reported earlier. The present studies were performed to elucidate the role of rat and human liver enzymes in metabolic transformations of this drug. C-1311 was incubated with different fractions of liver cells and the reaction mixtures were analyzed by RP-HPLC. We showed that the drug was more sensitive to metabolism with microsomes than with cytosol or S9 fraction of rat liver cells. Incubation of C-1311 with microsomes revealed the presence of four metabolites. Their structures were identified as dealkylation product, M0, as well as a dimer-like molecule, M1. Furthermore, we speculate that the hydroxyl group was most likely substituted in metabolite M3. It is of note that a higher rate of transformation was observed for rat than for human microsomes. However, the differences in metabolite amounts were specific for each metabolite. The reactivity of C-1311 with rat microsomes overexpressing P450 isoenzymes, of CYP3A and CYP4A families was higher than that with CYP1A and CYP2B. Moreover, the M1 metabolite was selectively formed with CYP3A, whereas M3 with CYP4A. In conclusion, this study revealed that C-1311 varied in susceptibility to metabolic transformation in rat and human cells and showed selectivity in the metabolism with P450 isoenzymes. The obtained results could be useful for preparing the schedule of individual directed therapy with C-1311 in future patients.

Opis:
Imidazoacridinones (IAs) are a new group of highly active antitumor compounds. The intercalation of the IA molecule into DNA is the preliminary step in the mode of action of these compounds. There are no experimental data about the structure of an intercalation complex formed by imidazoacridinones. Therefore the design of new potentially better compounds of this group should employ the molecular modelling techniques. The results of molecular dynamics simulations performed for four IA analogues are presented. Each of the compounds was studied in two systems: i) in water, and ii) in the intercalation complex with dodecamer duplex d(GCGCGCGCGCGC)2. Significant differences in the conformation of the side chain in the two environments were observed for all studied IAs. These changes were induced by electrostatic as well as van der Waals interactions between the intercalator and DNA. Moreover, the results showed that the geometry of the intercalation complex depends on: i) the chemical constitution of the side chain, and ii) the substituent in position 8 of the ring system.

Opis:
A pilot study on relationships of selected molecular factors (c-myc oncogene average gene copy numbers (AGCN); serum CEA and CA 15.3 antigen levels; tumor cells' DNA values), to the ex vivo chemosensitivity of primary female human breast cancer in a modified adenosine triphosphate cell viability chemosensitivity assay (ATP-CVA), was performed. Four drug combinations were tested. A group of 75 cases of female primary breast cancer was assessed. Numerous correlations were found among molecular factors tested but none, with the exception of tumor grading, of these reflected ex vivo chemosensitivity of tumors tested. The results suggest that the parameters tested may not be important factors related to adjuvant chemoresponsiveness of primary human breast cancer to tested drug combinations.

Opis:
Pyrimidoacridinetriones (PATs) are a new group of highly active antitumor compounds. It seems reasonable to assume that, like for some other acridine derivatives, intercalation into DNA is a necessary, however not a sufficient condition for antitumor activity of these compounds. Rational design of new compounds of this chemotype requires knowledge about the structure of the intercalation complex, as well as about interactions responsible for its stability. Computer simulation techniques such as molecular dynamics (MD) may provide valuable information about these problems. The results of MD simulations performed for three rationally selected PATs are presented in this paper. The compounds differ in the number and position of side chains. Each of the compounds was simulated in two systems: i) in water, and ii) in the intercalation complex with the dodecamer duplex d(GCGCGCGCGCGC)2. The orientation of the side chain in relation to the ring system is determined by the position of its attachment. Orientation of the ring system inside the intercalation cavity depends on the number and position of side chain(s). The conformations of the side chain(s) of all PATs studied in the intercalation complex were found to be very similar to those observed in water.
