Abstract
The triazole functional group plays a pivotal role in the composition of biomolecules with potent anticancer activities, including numerous clinically approved drugs. The strategic utilization of the triazole fragment in the rational modification of lead compounds has demonstrated its ability to improve anticancer activities, enhance selectivity, optimize pharmacokinetic properties, and overcome resistance. There has been significant interest in triazole-containing hybrids in recent years due to their remarkable anticancer potential. However, previous reviews on triazoles in cancer treatment have failed to provide tailored design strategies specific to these compounds. Herein, we present an overview of design strategies encompassing a structure-modification approach for incorporating triazoles into hybrid molecules. This review offers valuable references and briefly introduces the synthesis of triazole derivatives, thereby paving the way for further research and advancements in the field of effective and targeted anticancer therapies.

Discovery of novel pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives as potent reversal agents against ABCB1-mediated multidrug resistance. Eur J Med Chem 2024; 277:116761. [PMID: 39151276 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2024.116761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2024] [Revised: 07/30/2024] [Accepted: 08/08/2024] [Indexed: 08/19/2024]
Abstract
The P-glycoprotein (ABCB1)-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR) has emerged as a significant impediment to the efficacy of cancer chemotherapy in clinical therapy, which could promote the development of effective agents for MDR reversal. In this work, we reported the exploration of novel pyrazolo [1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives as potent reversal agents capable of enhancing the sensitivity of ABCB1-mediated MDR MCF-7/ADR cells to paclitaxel (PTX). Among them, compound 16q remarkably increased the sensitivity of MCF-7/ADR cells to PTX at 5 μM (IC50 = 27.00 nM, RF = 247.40) and 10 μM (IC50 = 10.07 nM, RF = 663.44). Compound 16q could effectively bind and stabilize ABCB1, and does not affect the expression and subcellular localization of ABCB1 in MCF-7/ADR cells. Compound 16q inhibited the function of ABCB1, thereby increasing PTX accumulation, and interrupting the accumulation and efflux of the ABCB1-mediated Rh123, thus resulting in exhibiting good reversal effects. In addition, due to the potent reversal effects of compound 16q, the abilities of PTX to inhibit tubulin depolymerization, and induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in MCF-7/ADR cells under low-dose conditions were restored. These results indicate that compound 16q might be a promising potent reversal agent capable of revising ABCB1-mediated MDR, and pyrazolo [1,5-a]pyrimidine might represent a novel scaffold for the discovery of new ABCB1-mediated MDR reversal agents.

Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSC) are the leading cause of the failure of anti-tumor treatments. These aggressive cancer cells are preserved and sustained by adjacent cells forming a specialized microenvironment, termed niche, among which tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are critical players. The cycle of tricarboxylic acids, fatty acid oxidation path, and electron transport chain have been proven to play central roles in the development and maintenance of CSCs and TAMs. By improving their oxidative metabolism, cancer cells are able to extract more energy from nutrients, which allows them to survive in nutritionally defective environments. Because mitochondria are crucial bioenergetic hubs and sites of these metabolic pathways, major hopes are posed for drugs targeting mitochondria. A wide range of medications targeting mitochondria, electron transport chain complexes, or oxidative enzymes are currently investigated in phase 1 and phase 2 clinical trials against hard-to-treat tumors. This review article aims to highlight recent literature on the metabolic adaptations of CSCs and their supporting macrophages. A focus is provided on the resistance and dormancy behaviors that give CSCs a selection advantage and quiescence capacity in particularly hostile microenvironments and the role of TAMs in supporting these attitudes. The article also describes medicaments that have demonstrated a robust ability to disrupt core oxidative metabolism in preclinical cancer studies and are currently being tested in clinical trials.

Abstract
The inhibition of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) has emerged as an intriguing strategy for circumventing multidrug resistance (MDR) in anticancer chemotherapy. In this study, we have designed and synthesized 30 indole-selenides as a new class of P-gp inhibitors based on the scaffold hopping strategy. Among them, the preferred compound H27 showed slightly stronger reversal activity (reversal fold: 271.7 vs 261.6) but weaker cytotoxicity (inhibition ratio: 33.7% vs 45.1%) than the third-generation P-gp inhibitor tariquidar on the tested MCF-7/ADR cells. Rh123 accumulation experiments and Western blot analysis demonstrated that H27 displayed excellent MDR reversal activity by dose-dependently inhibiting the efflux function of P-gp rather than its expression. Besides, UIC-2 reactivity shift assay revealed that H27 could bind to P-gp directly and induced a conformation change of P-gp. Moreover, docking study revealed that H27 matched well in the active pockets of P-gp by forming some key H-bonding interactions, arene-H interactions and hydrophobic contacts. These results suggested that H27 is worth to be a starting point for the development of novel Se-containing P-gp inhibitors for clinic use.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an important factor leading to multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer treatment. The co-administration of anticancer drugs and P-gp inhibitors has been a treatment strategy to overcome MDR. In recent years, tyrosine kinase inhibitor Lapatinib has been reported to reverse MDR through directly interacting with ABC transporters. In this work, a series of P-gp inhibitors (1-26) was designed and synthesized by integrating the quinazoline core of Lapatinib into the molecule framework of the third-generation P-gp inhibitor Tariquidar. Among them, compound 14 exhibited better MDR reversal activity than Tariquidar. The docking results showed compound 14 displayed the L-shaped molecular conformation. Importantly, compound 14 increased the accumulation of Adriamycin (ADM) and rhodamine 123 (Rh123) in MCF7/ADM cells. Besides, compound 14 significantly increased ADM-induced apoptosis and inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of MCF7/ADM cells. It was also demonstrated that compound 14 significantly inhibited the growth of MCF7/ADM xenograft tumors by increasing the sensitivity of ADM. In summary, compound 14 has the potential to overcome MDR caused by P-gp.

Abstract
Two new series of pyrrolizine/indolizine derivative-bearing (un)substituted isoindole moiety were designed and synthesized. The anticancer potential of the new compounds was evaluated against hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG-2), colorectal carcinoma, colon cancer (HCT-116), and breast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines. Compounds 6d and 6o were the most potent derivatives with IC50 values ranging from 6.02 to 13.87 μM against HePG-2, HCT-116, and MCF-7 cell lines. Moreover, methyl analog of the fluoro-substituted indolizine derivative 6m revealed significant antiproliferative activity against HePG-2, HCT-116, and MCF-7 cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 11.97, 28.37, and 19.87 μM, respectively. The most active anticancer analogs, 6d, 6m, and 6o, were inspected for their putative mechanism of action by estimating their epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK 2) inhibitory activities. Thus, compound 6o displayed the most inhibitory activity against EGFR and CDK 2 with IC50 values of 62 and 118 nM, respectively. Additionally, the quantitative real-time PCR analysis for the P-glycoprotein effect of compounds 6d, 6m, and 6o was performed, in which compound 6o illustrated significant down-regulation of P-gp against the HepG-2 cell line by 0.2732 fold. Mechanistic studies for the most active compounds involving the reversal doxorubicin (DOX) effect of compounds 6d, 6m, and 6o were performed, which illustrated cytotoxic activity with IC50 22.27, 3.88, and 8.79 μM, respectively. Moreover, the apoptotic activity of the most active derivative 6o on HCT-116 cancer cells showed accumulation in the G1 and S phases of the cell cycle.

Abstract
Based on the structure of the anti-HIV drug cabotegravir, we introduced 1,2,3-triazole groups with different substituents to obtain 19 cabotegravir derivatives and tested their activity against HepG2 cells. The proliferation of HepG2 cells was examined following treatment with derivatives. Most of the compounds demonstrated significant inhibitory effects, particularly compounds KJ-5 and KJ-12 with IC50 values of 4.29 ± 0.10 and 4.07 ± 0.09 μM, respectively. Furthermore, both compounds 5 and 12 significantly caused cell apoptosis, G2/M arrest, and DNA damage, and suppressed invasion and migration in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, KJ-5 and KJ-12 could trigger apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway by increasing the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 and activating cleaved caspase-9, cleaved caspase-3, and cleaved PARP.

Abstract
The co-administration of anticancer drugs and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors was a treatment strategy to surmount multidrug resistance (MDR) in anticancer chemotherapy. In this study, novel phenylfuran-bisamide derivatives were designed as P-gp inhibitors based on target-based drug design, and 31 novel compounds were synthesized and screened on MCF-7/ADR cells. The result of bioassay revealed that compound y12d exhibited low cytotoxicity and promising MDR reversal activity (IC50 = 0.0320 μM, reversal fold = 1163.0), 3.64-fold better than third-generation P-gp inhibitor tariquidar (IC50 = 0.1165 μM, reversal fold = 319.3). The results of Western blot and rhodamine 123 accumulation verified that compound y12d exhibited excellent MDR reversal activity by inhibiting the efflux function of P-gp but not expression. Furthermore, molecular docking showed that compound y12d bound to target P-gp by forming the double H-bond interactions with residue Gln 725. These results suggest that compound y12d might be a potential MDR reveal agent acting as a P-gp inhibitor in clinical therapeutics, and provide insight into design strategy and skeleton optimization for the development of P-gp inhibitors.

Two new series of symmetric (1a-h) and asymmetric (2a-l) 1,4-DHP derivatives were designed, synthesised, and evaluated as anticancer agents. In vitro anticancer screening of target compounds via National cancer institute “NCI” revealed that analogues 1g, 2e, and 2l demonstrated antiproliferative action with mean growth inhibition percentage “GI%” = 41, 28, and 64, respectively. The reversal doxorubicin (DOX) effects of compounds 1g, 2e, and 2l were examined and illustrated better cytotoxic activity with IC50 =1.12, 3.64, and 3.57 µM, respectively. The most active anticancer analogues, 1g, 2e, and 2l, were inspected for their putative mechanism of action by estimating their epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2), and Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitory activities. Furthermore, the antimicrobial activity of target compounds was assessed against six different pathogens, followed by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration “MIC” values for the most active analogues. Molecular docking study was achieved to understand mode of interactions between selected inhibitors and different biological targets.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The argument around cancer therapy is an old one. Using chemotherapeutic drugs, as one of the most effective strategies in treatment of malignancies, is restricted by various issues that progress during therapy and avoid achieving clinical endpoints. Multidrug resistance (MDR), frequently mediated by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, is one of the most recognized obstacles in the success of pharmacological anticancer approaches. These transporters efflux diverse drugs to extracellular environment, causing MDR and responsiveness of tumor cells to chemotherapy diminishes. AREAS COVERED Several strategies have been used to overcome MDR phenomenon. Succession in this field requires complete knowledge about features and mechanism of ABC transporters. In this review, conventional synthetic and natural inhibitors are discussed first and then novel approaches including RNA, monoclonal antibodies, nanobiotechnology, and structural modification techniques are represented. EXPERT OPINION With increasing frequency of MDR in cancer cells, it is essential to develop new drugs to inhibit MDR. Using knowledge acquired about ABC transporter's structure, rational design of inhibitors is possible. Also, some herbal products have shown to be potential lead compounds in drug discovery for reversal of MDR.

Abstract
Background:
The 1,2,3-triazole hybrids and conjugates containing natural or related compounds motif demonstrate diverse biological activities, including anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-tubercular, antiviral, antidiabetic, antimalarial, anti-leishmanial, and neuroprotective ones. Among a wide range of pharmacological applications, considerable attention is paid to the study of anticancer activity. In anticancer research, combining of 1,2,3-triazoles with other motifs, previously demonstrating antiproliferative activity into one hybrid molecule, is a common strategy for the creation of new bioactive molecules. The CuAAC (copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition) is a very convenient reaction for the rapid construction of drug-like 1,2,3-triazoles at room temperature in a short time.
Methods:
Based on the pharmacophore strategy, a virtual combinatorial library of benzo[c]chromen-6-one -linked 1,2,3-triazole derivatives was designed and lead-likeness and molecular analysis were performed. Selected compounds were synthesized via CuAAC click reaction and the chemical structures of all new 1,2,3-triazole hybrids were proved by 1H, 13C NMR, MS and elemental analyses. Their anti-cancer activity in the human cancer cell lines was evaluated using the MTT assay.
Results:
A virtual in silico screening of novel benzo[c]chromen-6-one -linked 1,2,3-triazoles was carried out in order to discover potential antitumor agents. The synthesis of promising compounds was carried out via СuAAC reaction, and their antineoplastic action was studied on human tumor cells of HL-60, HCT116, HCT116 p53-/-, Skov3, U251, MDA231 lines. Their cytotoxic effect towards pseudo-normal human cells of HaCaT line was also evaluated. 2-((1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methoxy)-6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-one (4c) with pyridin-3-yl substituent demonstrated the highest antiproliferative action in vitro (IC50 79.5 μM) towards human leukemia cells of HL-60 line, while all tested compounds at >100 μM concentration were tolerant for non-tumor human keratinocytes of HaCaT line.
Conclusion:
A novel benzo[c]chromen-6-one -linked 1,2,3-triazoles exhibiting promising in vitro anti-cancer activity and low toxicity were designed. This study suggests new scaffolds for the development of anti-cancer drugs, which could be easily further optimized via the convenient synthetic procedure.

Abstract
Targeting P-glycoprotein (ABCB1 or P-gp) has been recognized as a promising strategy to overcome multidrug resistance. Here, we reported our medicinal chemistry efforts that led to the discovery of the triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivative WS-898 as a highly effective ABCB1 inhibitor capable of reversing paclitaxel (PTX) resistance in drug-resistant SW620/Ad300, KB-C2, and HEK293/ABCB1 cells (IC50 = 5.0, 3.67, and 3.68 nM, respectively), more potent than verapamil and zosuquidar. WS-898 inhibited the efflux function of ABCB1, thus leading to decreased efflux and increased intracellular PTX concentration in SW620/Ad300 cells. The cellular thermal shift assay indicated direct engagement of WS-898 to ABCB1. Furthermore, WS-898 stimulated the ATPase activity of ABCB1 but had minimal effects on cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). Importantly, WS-898 increased PTX sensitization in vivo without obvious toxicity. The results suggest that WS-898 is a highly effective triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-based ABCB1 inhibitor and shows promise in reversing ABCB1-mediated PTX resistance.

Abstract
The major drawbacks of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors at the clinical stage make the development of new P-gp inhibitors challenging and desirable. In this study, we reported our structure-activity relationship studies of 4-indolyl quinazoline, which led to the discovery of a highly effective and orally active P-gp inhibitor, YS-370. YS-370 effectively reversed multidrug resistance (MDR) to paclitaxel and colchicine in SW620/AD300 and HEK293T-ABCB1 cells. YS-370 bound directly to P-gp, did not alter expression or subcellular localization of P-gp in SW620/AD300 cells, but increased the intracellular accumulation of paclitaxel. Furthermore, YS-370 stimulated the P-gp ATPase activity and had moderate inhibition against CYP3A4. Significantly, oral administration of YS-370 in combination with paclitaxel achieved much stronger antitumor activity in a xenograft model bearing SW620/Ad300 cells than either drug alone. Taken together, our data demonstrate that YS-370 is a promising P-gp inhibitor capable of overcoming MDR and represents a unique scaffold for the development of new P-gp inhibitors.

Abstract
In order to find efficient new antitumor drugs, a series of novel trifluoromethyl-substituted pyrimidine derivatives were designed and synthesized, and the bioactivity against four human tumor cells (PC-3, MGC-803, MCF-7 and H1975) was evaluated by MTT assay. Compound 17v displayed potent anti-proliferative activity on H1975 (IC50=2.27 μΜ), which was better than the positive control 5-FU (IC50=9.37 μΜ). Further biological evaluation studies showed that compound 17v induced apoptosis of H1975 cells and arrested the cell cycle at G2/M phase. Furthermore, compound 17v induced H1975 cells apoptosis through increasing the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and p53 and down-regulating the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. In addition, compound 17v was able to be tightly embedded in the active pocket of EGFR. In summary, these results demonstrated that compound 17v has a potential as a lead compound for further investigation.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance-associated protein 7 (MRP7) is an important member of ABC transporter superfamily and has been revealed to mediate the cross-membrane translocation of a wide range of chemotherapeutic agents including taxanes, epothilones, Vinca alkaloids, Anthracyclines and Epipodophyllotoxins.In our previous study, a 1,2,3-triazole-pyrimidine hybridCMP25was synthesized and found able to efficiently reverse multidrug resistance (MDR) mediated by P-glycoprotein. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of compound CMP25in reversing MDR mediated by MRP7in vitro. The results showed that CMP25significantly sensitized MRP7-overexpressing cells to anticancer drugs that are MRP7 substrates. Mechanistic study showed that CMP25reversed MRP7-mediated MDR by increasing the intracellular accumulation of anticancer drugs and decreasing drug efflux, without altering protein expression level or subcellular localization. Currently, very few studies on synthetic MRP7 modulators have been published. Our findings provide a valuable prototype for designing drugs to combine with conventional anticancer drugs to overcome MDR-mediated by MRP7.

Abstract
Enterococcus faecalis is known as a significant nosocomial pathogen due to its natural resistance to many antibacterial drugs. Moreover, it was found that E. faecalis infection causes inflammation, production of reactive oxygen species, and DNA damage to human gastric cancer cells, which can induce cancer. In this study, we synthesized and tested the biological activity of a new Schiff base, 5-[(4-ethoxyphenyl)imino]methyl-N-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-methyl-2-phenylpyrimidin-4-amine (3), and compared its properties with an analogous amine (2). In the biological investigation, 3 was found to have antibacterial activity against E. faecalis 29212 and far better anticancer properties, especially against gastric adenocarcinoma (human Caucasian gastric adenocarcinoma), than 2. In addition, both derivatives were non-toxic to normal cells. It is worth mentioning that 3 could potentially inhibit cancer cell growth by inducing cell apoptosis. The results suggest that the presence of the -C=N- bond in the molecule of 3 increases its activity, indicating that 5-iminomethylpyrimidine could be a potent core for further drug discovery research.

Abstract
Twenty-nine dihydro-β-agarofuran-type sesquiterpenoids, including 17 new and 12 known compounds, were obtained from the seeds of Celastrus virens. The structures of the new isolates were characterized by spectroscopic methods and X-ray diffraction analysis. Among these, 20 sesquiterpenoids were evaluated for their multidrug resistance (MDR) reversal activity against the KB/VCR cell line. As a result, compounds 6 and 8 were found to exhibit MDR-reversal activity of more than 10-fold at a concentration of 2 μM, and the reversal fold (RF) ratios of compounds 19, 21, and 24 were >97.9 at a 20 μM nontoxic concentration level.

Design, synthesis and bioactivity study on 5-phenylfuran derivatives as potent reversal agents against P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance in MCF-7/ADR cell. Eur J Med Chem 2021; 216:113336. [PMID: 33725657 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2021.113336] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2020] [Revised: 02/19/2021] [Accepted: 02/20/2021] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR) is a phenomenon in which cells become resistant to structurally and mechanistically unrelated drugs resulting in low intracellular drug concentrations. It is one of the noteworthy problems in malignant tumor clinical therapeutics. So P-gp protein is one of the ideal targets to solve MDR. Based on the lead compound 5m obtained from our previous work, a series of furan derivatives featuring alkyl-substituted phenols and 6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline were designed and synthesized as reversal agents against P-gp in this paper. Compound 16 containing isopropoxy possessed good potency against P-gp mediated MDR in MCF-7/ADR (IC50 (doxorubicin) = 0.73 μM, RF = 69.6 with 5 μM 16 treated). Western blot results and Rh123 accumulation assays showed that 16 effectively inhibited P-gp efflux function but not its expression. The preliminary structure-activity relationship and docking studies demonstrated that compound 16 would be a potential P-gp inhibitor. Most worthy of mention is that compound 16 has achieved satisfactory results in combination with a variety of anti-tumor drugs, such as doxorubicin, paclitaxel, and vincristine. This study forwards a hopeful P-gp inhibitor for withstanding malignant tumor cell with multidrug resistance setting the basis for further studies.

Abstract
1-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole (CPTC) and 5-(3-chlorophenyl) -1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole (PCTA) are two new derivatives of 1,2,3-triazole. Their structural and spectral properties were characterized by density functional theory calculations (DFT). The binding properties of CPTC or PCTA with several typical biomacromolecules such as human serum albumin (HSA), bovine hemoglobin (BHb), human immunoglobulin (HIgG) or DNA were investigated by molecular docking and multiple spectroscopic methodologies. The different parameters including binding constants and thermodynamic parameters for CPTC/PCTA-HSA/BHb/HIgG/DNA systems were obtained based on various fluorescence enhancement or quenching mechanisms. The results of binding constants indicated that there were the strong interactions between two triazoles and four biological macromolecules due to the higher order of magnitude between 103 and 105. The values of thermodynamic parameters revealed that the binding forces for these systems are mainly hydrophobic interactions, electrostatic force, or hydrogen bond, respectively, which are in agreement with the results of molecular docking to a certain extent. Moreover, the information from synchronous, 3D fluorescence and UV-Vis spectroscopies proved that two compounds CPTC and PCTA could affect the microenvironment of amino acids residues of three kinds of proteins. Based on the above experimental results, a comparison of the interaction mechanisms for CPTC/PCTA-proteins/DNA systems have been performed in view of their different molecular structures, which is beneficial for the further research in order to design them as the novel drugs.

Abstract
ABCB1 is a promising therapeutic target for overcoming multidrug resistance (MDR). In this work, we reported the structure-based design of triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines as new ABCB1 modulators, of which WS-691 significantly increased sensitization of ABCB1-overexpressed SW620/Ad300 cells to paclitaxel (PTX) (IC50 = 22.02 nM). Mechanistic studies indicated that WS-691 significantly increased the intracellular concentration of PTX and [3H]-PTX while decreasing the efflux of [3H]-PTX in SW620/Ad300 cells by inhibiting the efflux function of ABCB1. The cellular thermal shift assay suggested that WS-691 could stabilize ABCB1 by directly binding to ABCB1. WS-691 could stimulate the activity of ABCB1 ATPase but had almost no inhibitory activity against CYP3A4. Importantly, WS-691 increased the sensitivity of SW620/Ad300 cells to PTX in vivo without observed toxicity. Collectively, WS-691 is a highly potent and orally active ABCB1 modulator capable of overcoming MDR. The triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine may be a promising scaffold for developing more potent ABCB1 modulators.

Computationally designed synthetic peptides for transporter proteins imparts allostericity in Miltefosine resistant L. major. Biochem J 2020; 477:2007-2026.

Abstract
The emergence of drug resistance is a major concern for combating against Cutaneous Leishmaniasis, a neglected tropical disease affecting 98 countries including India. Miltefosine is the only oral drug available for the disease and Miltefosine transporter proteins play a pivotal role in the emergence of drug-resistant Leishmania major. The cause of resistance is less accumulation of drug inside the parasite either by less uptake of the drug due to a decrease in the activity of P4ATPase-CDC50 complex or by increased efflux of the drug by P-glycoprotein (P-gp, an ABC transporter). In this paper, we are trying to allosterically modulate the behavior of resistant parasite (L. major) towards its sensitivity for the existing drug (Miltefosine, a phosphatidylcholine analog). We have used computational approaches to deal with the conservedness of the proteins and apparently its three-dimensional structure prediction through ab initio modeling. Long scale membrane-embedded molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to study the structural interaction and stability. Parasite-specific motifs of these proteins were identified based on the machine learning technique, against which a peptide library was designed. The protein-peptide docking shows good binding energy of peptides Pg5F, Pg8F and PC2 with specific binding to the motifs. These peptides were tested both in vitro and in vivo, where Pg5F in combination with PC2 showed 50-60% inhibition in resistant L. major's promastigote and amastigote forms and 80-90% decrease in parasite load in mice. We posit a model system wherein the data provide sufficient impetus for being novel therapeutics in order to counteract the drug resistance phenotype in Leishmania parasites.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) remains one of the major impediments for efficacious cancer chemotherapy. Increased efflux of multiple chemotherapeutic drugs by transmembrane ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily is considered one of the primary causes for cancer MDR, in which the role of P-glycoprotein (P-gp/ABCB1) has been most well-established. The clinical co-administration of P-gp drug efflux inhibitors, in combination with anticancer drugs which are P-gp transport substrates, was considered to be a treatment modality to surmount MDR in anticancer therapy by blocking P-gp-mediated multidrug efflux. Extensive attempts have been carried out to screen for sets of nontoxic, selective, and efficacious P-gp efflux inhibitors. In this review, we highlight the recent achievements in drug design, characterization, structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, and mechanisms of action of the newly synthetic, potent small molecules P-gp inhibitors in the past 5 years. The development of P-gp inhibitors will increase our knowledge of the mechanisms and functions of P-gp-mediated drug efflux which will benefit drug discovery and clinical cancer therapeutics where P-gp transporter overexpression has been implicated in MDR.

Abstract
To identity fast-acting, multistage antimalarial agents, a series of pyridylvinylquinoline-triazole analogues have been synthesized via CuAAC. Most of the compounds display significant inhibitory effect on the drug-resistant malarial Dd2 strain at low submicromolar concentrations. Among the tested analogues, compound 60 is the most potent molecule with an EC50 value of 0.04 ± 0.01 μM. Our current study indicates that compound 60 is a fast-acting antimalarial compound and it demonstrates stage specific action at the trophozoite phase in the P. falciparum asexual life cycle. In addition, compound 60 is active against both early and late stage P. falciparum gametocytes. From a mechanistic perspective, compound 60 shows good activity as an inhibitor of β-hematin formation. Collectively, our findings suggest that fast-acting agent 60 targets dual life stages of the malarial parasites and warrant further investigation of pyridylvinylquinoline hybrids as new antimalarials.

Abstract
The multidrug resistance (MDR) phenomenon in cancer cells is the major obstacle leading to failure of chemotherapy accompanied by the feature of intractable and recurrence of cancers. As significant contributors that cause MDR, ABC superfamily proteins can transport the chemotherapeutic drugs out of the tumor cells by the energy of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis, thereby reducing their intracellular accumulation. The ABC transports like ABCB1, ABCC1 and ABCG2 have been extensively studied to develop modulators for overcoming MDR. To date, no reversal agents have been successfully marketed for clinical application, and little information about the ABC proteins bound to specific inhibitors is known, which make the design of MDR inhibitors with potency, selectivity and low toxicity a major challenge. In recent years, it has been increasingly recognized that pyrimidine-based derivatives have the potential for reversing ABC-mediated MDR. In this review, we summarized the pyrimidine-based inhibitors of ABC transporters, and mainly focused on their structure optimizations, development strategies and structure-activity relationship studies in hope of providing a reference for medicinal chemists to develop new modulators of MDR with highly potency and fewer side effects.

Xu Z, Zhao SJ, Liu Y. 1,2,3-Triazole-containing hybrids as potential anticancer agents: Current developments, action mechanisms and structure-activity relationships. Eur J Med Chem 2019; 183:111700. [PMID: 31546197 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2019.111700] [Citation(s) in RCA: 249] [Impact Index Per Article: 49.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2019] [Revised: 09/08/2019] [Accepted: 09/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Anticancer agents are critical for the cancer treatment, but side effects and the drug resistance associated with the currently used anticancer agents create an urgent need to explore novel drugs with low side effects and high efficacy. 1,2,3-Triazole is privileged building block in the discovery of new anticancer agents, and some of its derivatives have already been applied in clinics or under clinical trials for fighting against cancers. Hybrid molecules occupy an important position in cancer control, and hybridization of 1,2,3-triazole framework with other anticancer pharmacophores may provide valuable therapeutic intervention for the treatment of cancer, especially drug-resistant cancer. This review emphasizes the recent advances in 1,2,3-triazole-containing hybrids with anticancer potential, covering articles published between 2015 and 2019, and the structure-activity relationships, together with mechanisms of action are also discussed.

Abstract
The 1,2,3-triazole ring is a major pharmacophore system among nitrogen-containing heterocycles. These five-membered heterocyclic motifs with three nitrogen heteroatoms can be prepared easily using 'click' chemistry with copper- or ruthenium-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions. Recently, the 'linker' property of 1,2,3-triazoles was demonstrated, and a novel class of 1,2,3-triazole-containing hybrids and conjugates was synthesised and evaluated as lead compounds for diverse biological targets. These lead compounds have been demonstrated as anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-tubercular, antiviral, antidiabetic, antimalarial, anti-leishmanial, and neuroprotective agents. The present review summarises advances in lead compounds of 1,2,3-triazole-containing hybrids, conjugates, and their related heterocycles in medicinal chemistry published in 2018. This review will be useful to scientists in research fields of organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, phytochemistry, and pharmacology.

Abstract
Dehydrogenative C-H arylations of 1,2,3-triazoles were accomplished with the aid of a reusable palladium catalyst in PEG. The widely applicable oxidative palladium catalysis enabled the synthesis of fully decorated 1,2,3-triazoles with a broad functional-group tolerance and ample substrate scope. The sustainability of the aerobic C-H arylation was reflected by the use of PEG as green reaction medium and demonstrated by recycling studies of the catalyst and the reaction medium.

Abstract
In a phytochemical investigation of the whole plant of Euphorbia glomerulans, 17 new (1-17) and five known jatrophane diterpenoids (18-22) were identified. The X-ray crystallographic data of compounds 1, 4, and 21 permitted the definition of the absolute configurations of these compounds. The cytotoxicity and multidrug resistance reversal activities of the 17 new compounds were evaluated on multidrug-resistant MCF-7/ADR cells overexpressing P-glycoprotein. Several compounds showed different chemoreversal activities and considerably decreased cytotoxicity. Compounds 11 (IC50 value of 5.0 ± 0.8 μM) and 12 (IC50 value of 5.2 ± 2.0 μM) possessed MDR reversal activities that were as good as that of verapamil (IC50 value of 4.7 ± 0.6 μM).

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) has been shown to reduce the effectiveness of chemotherapy. Strategies to overcoming MDR have been widely explored in the last decades, leading to a generation of numerous small molecules targeting ABC and MRP transporters. Among the ABC family, ABCB1 plays key roles in the development of drug resistance and is the most well studied. In this work, we report the discovery of non-toxic [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-one (WS-10) from our structurally diverse in-house compound collection that selectively modulates ABCB1-mediated multidrug resistance. WS-10 enhanced the intracellular accumulation of paclitaxel in SW620/Ad300 cells, but did not affect the expression of ABCB1 Protein and ABCB1 localization. The cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) showed that WS-10 was able to bind to ABCB1, which could be responsible for the reversal effect of WS-10 toward paclitaxel and doxorubicin in SW620/Ad300 cells. Docking simulations were performed to show the possible binding modes of WS-10 within ABCB1 transporter. To conclude, WS-10 could be used as a template for designing new ABCB1 modulators to overcome ABCB1-mediated multidrug resistance.

Abstract
Cu(NO3)2 supported on natural phosphate, Cu(ii)/NP, was prepared by co-precipitation and applied as a heterogeneous catalyst for synthesizing xanthenes (2–3 h, 85–97%) through Knoevenagel–Michael cascade reaction of aromatic aldehydes with 1,3-cyclic diketones in ethanol under refluxing conditions. It was further used for regioselective synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles (1–25 min, 95–99%) via a three-component reaction between organic halides, aromatic alkynes and sodium azide in methanol at room temperature. The proposed catalyst, Cu(ii)/NP, was characterized using X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, Barrett–Joyner–Halenda and inductively coupled plasma analyses. Compared to other reports in literature, the reactions took place through a simple co-precipitation, having short reaction time (<3 hours), high reaction yield (>85%), and high recyclability of catalyst (>5 times) without significant decrease in the inherent property and selectivity of catalyst. The proposed protocols provided significant economic and environmental advantages. Cu(NO3)2 supported on natural phosphate, Cu(ii)/NP, was prepared by co-precipitation and characterized.
