Research Abstract

We synthesized seven acyclic ethylenedisulfonamides and twelve 1,5-bis (arenesulfonyl)-1,3,5-triazacycloheptanes, and compared the effects on in vitro multidrug resistance and on intracellular accumulation of vinblastine (VLB) in P388/ADR multidrug-resistant cells which overexpress a multidrug transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Any acyclic disulfonamides having 4-methoxyphenyl, pyridyl, quinolyl, or isoquinolyl groups hardly influenced the sensitivity to VLB in P388/ADR cells, and cyclic disulfonamides having such aryl groups only slightly increased the sensitivity to VLB.Acyclic or cyclic disulfonamides having 4-chlorophenyl or naphthyl groups moderately enhanced the effect of VLB.These compounds showed similar effects on intracellular accumulation of VLB.The maximum effect was observed in the case of 1,5-bis (1-naphthalenesulfonyl)-1,3,5-triazacycloheptane (B3). B3 enhanced the activity of vincristine, adriamycin, daunomycin, or actinomycin D in P388/ADR cells but not in sensitive P388 cells. The content of P-gp in P388/ADR cells was not affected by B3. B3 did not show any combined effects on the life-span of P388/ADR-bearing mice.
