Abstract
Deoxycholic acid derivatives were designed as P-glycoprotein (Pgp, ABCB1) inhibitors. Thus the synthesis and the biological activity of methyl deoxycholate derivatives 5–10 and their ether analogs 15–20 have been reported. The potency of these compounds to modulate Pgp-mediated MDR was evaluated through daunorubicin accumulation and potentiation of doxorubicin cytotoxicity in K562/R7 multidrug resistant cells overexpressing Pgp. In parallel, their intrinsic toxicity was appreciated on K562 sensitive cells. Methyl 12α-[(2R or 2S) tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy]-3-oxo-5β-cholan-24-oate 9b has shown a good efficiency as a Pgp inhibitor and a low intrinsic toxicity. Therefore, this derivative constitutes a new lead compound which can be used as a starting point to improve the design of non-toxic Pgp modulators.
