Oleanolic acid derivative methyl 3,11-dioxoolean-12-en-28-olate targets multidrug resistance related to ABCB1.
Journal Title: Pharmacological Reports - Year 2011, Vol 63, Issue 6
Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) in leukemia patients is a great incentive to the development of new drugs. In a search for potential multidrug resistance modulators we tested a group of oleanolic acid (OA) analogues modified at C-3, C-11, C-12 and C-28 using an experimental model consisting of three human acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines (CCRF-CEM and the multidrug resistant sublines CCRF-VCR1000 and CCRF-ADR5000). The most effective compound, methyl 3,11-dioxoolean-12-en-28-olate (DIOXOL) was more potent in cell viability inhibition than its precursor - OA, and showed similar or even higher activity in the drug resistant than in the wild-type cells. Resistance factor (RF) values obtained for CCRF-VCR1000 and CCRF-ADR-5000 cells using MTT assay were 0.7 and 0.8 (24 h of treatment) and after 72 h of treatment 0.9 and 1.1, respectively. Moreover, 5 μM DIOXOL significantly reduced the expression of the ABCB1 gene in MDR cells by around 30%, and also decreased the level of P-gp protein. Compared to untreated control cells, DIOXOL treatment resulted in a significant P-gp decrease (30% in CCRF-ADR5000 and 50% in CCRF-VCR1000), that was detected by western blot and confirmed by flow cytometry analysis. Moreover, DIOXOL (at 10 μM) significantly inhibited P-gp transport function by more than twofold comparing to control, untreated cells that was demonstrated using rhodamine 123-based functional test. The compound exhibited synergistic activity with ABCB1 substrate - adriamycin in CCRF-VCR1000 cells, indicating partial but significant MDR reversing ability.
