Abstract
Glutathione (GSH), a prominent antioxidant in organisms, exhibits diverse biological functions and is crucial in safeguarding cells against oxidative harm and upholding a stable redox milieu. The metabolism of GSH is implicated in numerous diseases, particularly in the progression of malignant tumors. Consequently, therapeutic strategies targeting the regulation of GSH synthesis and metabolism to modulate GSH levels represent a promising avenue for future research. This study aimed to elucidate the intricate relationship between GSH metabolism and ferroptosis, highlighting how modulation of GSH metabolism can impact cellular susceptibility to ferroptosis and consequently influence the development of tumors and other diseases. The paper provides a comprehensive overview of the physiological functions of GSH, including its structural characteristics, physicochemical properties, sources, and metabolic pathways, as well as investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying GSH regulation of ferroptosis and potential therapeutic interventions. Unraveling the biological role of GSH holds promise for individuals afflicted with tumors.

Abstract
Although the multiple functional groups in biomass offer notable chances for producing high-value chemicals, most of the current studies focused on the (deep) defunctionalization of biomass and its derivates. Herein, we present a catalytic approach to valorize birch wood lignin with maintaining the methoxy and hydroxy groups in the final product (i. e., 2,6-dimethoxy-p-aminophenol), which has applications in different sectors such as pharmaceuticals. The proved approach involves four steps with a high yield (19.8 wt % on the basis of used lignin) to 2,6-dimethoxy-p-aminophenol. The native lignin in birch wood was first converted using alkaline aerobic oxidation in the presence of copper ions toward high-yield syringaldehyde, which was then selectively oxidized toward 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone using H2 O2 and V2 O5 . Oximation of 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone can selectively form 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone-4-oxime, which can be quantitatively hydrogenated toward 2,6-dimethoxy-p-aminophenol. This work highlights the unique potential of biomass and its derivates for the sustainable production of high-value products with exploring the value of inherent functional groups.

Abstract
Resistance to chemotherapy remains one of the most significant obstacles to successful cancer treatment. While inhibiting drug efflux mediated by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters is a seemingly attractive and logical approach to combat multidrug resistance (MDR), small molecule inhibition of ABC transporters has so far failed to confer clinical benefit, despite considerable efforts by medicinal chemists, biologists, and clinicians. The long-sought treatment to eradicate cancers displaying ABC transporter overexpression may therefore lie within alternative targeting strategies. When aberrantly expressed, the ABC transporter multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1, ABCC1) confers MDR, but can also shift cellular redox balance, leaving the cell vulnerable to select agents. Here, we explore the physiological roles of MRP1, the rational for targeting this transporter in cancer, the development of small molecule MRP1 inhibitors, and the most recent developments in alternative therapeutic approaches for targeting cancers with MRP1 overexpression. We discuss approaches that extend beyond simple MRP1 inhibition by exploiting the collateral sensitivity to glutathione depletion and ferroptosis, the rationale for targeting the shared transcriptional regulators of both MRP1 and glutathione biosynthesis, advances in gene silencing, and new molecules that modulate transporter activity to the detriment of the cancer cell. These strategies illustrate promising new approaches to address multidrug resistant disease that extend beyond the simple reversal of MDR and offer exciting routes for further research.

Abstract
A virtual screening protocol with combination of similarity search and pharmacophore modeling was applied to virtually screen a large compound library to gain new scaffolds regarding ABCC1 inhibition. Biological investigation of promising candidates revealed four compounds as ABCC1 inhibitors, three of them with scaffolds not associated with ABCC1 inhibition until now. The best hit molecule-a thienopyrimidine-was a moderately potent, competitive inhibitor of the ABCC1-mediated transport of calcein AM which also sensitized ABCC1-overexpressing cells toward daunorubicin. Further evaluation showed that it was a moderately potent, competitive inhibitor of the ABCB1-mediated transport of calcein AM, and noncompetitive inhibitor of the ABCG2-mediated pheophorbide A transport. In addition, the thienopyrimidine could also sensitize ABCB1- as well as ABCG2-overexpressing cells toward daunorubicin and SN-38, respectively, in concentration ranges that qualified it as one of the ten best triple ABCC1/ABCB1/ABCG2 inhibitors in the literature. Besides, three more new multitarget inhibitors were identified by this virtual screening approach.

Abstract
P-Glycoprotein (P-gp, ABCB1), multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1, ABCC1), and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP, ABCG2) are the three major ABC transport proteins conferring resistance to many structurally diverse anticancer agents, leading to the phenomenon called multidrug resistance (MDR). Much effort has been put into the development of clinically useful compounds to reverse MDR. Broad-spectrum inhibitors of ABC transport proteins can be of great use in cancers that simultaneously coexpress two or three transporters. In this work, we continued our effort to generate new, potent, nontoxic, and multiply effective inhibitors of the three major ABC transporters. The best compound was active in a very low micromolar concentration range against all three transporters and restored sensitivity toward daunorubicin (P-gp and MRP1) and SN-38 (BCRP) in A2780/ADR (P-gp), H69AR (MRP1), and MDCK II BCRP (BCRP) cells. Additionally, the compound is a noncompetitive inhibitor of daunorubicin (MRP1), calcein AM (P-gp), and pheophorbide A (BCRP) transport.

Abstract
A series of 22 derivatives of the [1,2]oxazolo[5,4-e]isoindole system were synthesized through an efficient and versatile procedure that involves the annelation of the [1,2]oxazole moiety to the isoindole ring, producing derivatives with a wide substitution pattern. The structure-activity relationship indicates that the N-4-methoxybenzyl group appears crucial for potent activity. In addition, the presence of a 6-phenyl moiety is important and the best activity is reached with a 3,4,5-trimethoxy substituent. The most active compound, bearing both the structural features, was able to inhibit tumor cell proliferation at nanomolar concentrations when tested against the full NCI human tumor cell line panel. Interestingly, this compound was effective in reducing in vitro and in vivo cell growth, impairing cell cycle progression and inducing apoptosis, as a consequence of the inhibition of tubulin polymerization, in experimental models of diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (DMPM), a rapidly lethal disease, poorly responsive to conventional therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Five series of pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidines were synthesized and evaluated with respect to potency and selectivity toward multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1, ABCC1). This transport protein is a major target to overcome multidrug resistance in cancer patients. We investigated differently substituted pyrrolopyrimidines using the doxorubicin selected and MRP1 overexpressing small cell lung cancer cell line H69 AR in a calcein AM and daunorubicin cell accumulation assay. New compounds with high potency and selectivity were identified. Piperazine residues at position 4 bearing large phenylalkyl side chains proved to be beneficial for MRP1 inhibition. Its replacement by an amino group led to decreased activity. Aliphatic and aliphatic-aromatic variations at position 5 and 6 revealed compounds with IC50 values in high nanomolar range. All investigated compounds had low affinity toward P-glycoprotein (P-gp, ABCB1). Pyrrolopyrimidines with small substituents showed moderate inhibition against breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP, ABCG2).

Abstract
The phenomenon of multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer is associated with the overexpression of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins, including multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) and P-glycoprotein. MRP1 plays an active role in protecting cells by its ability to efflux a vast array of drugs to sub-lethal levels. There has been much effort in elucidating the mechanisms of action, structure and substrates and substrate binding sites of MRP1 in the last decade. In this review, we detail our current understanding of MRP1, its clinical relevance and highlight the current environment in the search for MRP1 inhibitors. We also look at the capacity for the rapid intercellular transfer of MRP1 phenotype from spontaneously shed membrane vesicles known as microparticles and discuss the clinical and therapeutic significance of this in the context of cancer MDR.

P-glycoprotein

of multidrug resistance reversal agents. In this study, we synthesized
21 novel compounds by peptide coupling at corresponding carboxyl and
amino termini of (S)-valine-based bis-thiazole and
monothiazole derivatives with diverse chemical scaffolds. Using calcein-AM
efflux assay, we identified compound 28 (IC50 = 1.0 μM) carrying 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl and 2-aminobenzophenone
groups, respectively, at the amino and carboxyl termini of the monothiazole
zwitter-ion. Compound 28 inhibited the photolabeling
of P-gp with [125I]-iodoarylazidoprazosin with IC50 = 0.75 μM and stimulated the basal ATP hydrolysis of P-gp
in a concentration-dependent manner (EC50 ATPase = 0.027
μM). Compound 28 at 3 μM reduced resistance
in cytotoxicity assay to paclitaxel in P-gp-expressing SW620/Ad300
and HEK/ABCB1 cell lines. Biochemical and docking studies showed site-1
to be the preferable binding site for 28 within the drug-binding
pocket of human P-gp.

Abstract
The nine multidrug resistance proteins (MRPs) represent the major part of the 12 members of the MRP/CFTR subfamily belonging to the 48 human ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. Cloning, functional characterization, and cellular localization of most MRP subfamily members have identified them as ATP-dependent efflux pumps with a broad substrate specificity for the transport of endogenous and xenobiotic anionic substances localized in cellular plasma membranes. Prototypic substrates include glutathione conjugates such as leukotriene C(4) for MRP1, MRP2, and MRP4, bilirubin glucuronosides for MRP2 and MRP3, and cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP for MRP4, MRP5, and MRP8. Reduced glutathione (GSH), present in living cells at millimolar concentrations, modifies the substrate specificities of several MRPs, as exemplified by the cotransport of vincristine with GSH by MRP1, or by the cotransport of GSH with bile acids or of GSH with leukotriene B(4) by MRP4.The role of MRP subfamily members in pathophysiology may be illustrated by the MRP-mediated release of proinflammatory and immunomodulatory mediators such as leukotrienes and prostanoids. Pathophysiological consequences of many genetic variants leading to a lack of functional MRP protein in the plasma membrane are observed in the hereditary MRP2 deficiency associated with conjugated hyperbilirubinemia in Dubin-Johnson syndrome, in pseudoxanthoma elasticum due to mutations in the MRP6 (ABCC6) gene, or in the type of human earwax and osmidrosis determined by single nucleotide polymorphisms in the MRP8 (ABCC8) gene. The hepatobiliary and renal elimination of many drugs and their metabolites is mediated by MRP2 in the hepatocyte canalicular membrane and by MRP4 as well as MRP2 in the luminal membrane of kidney proximal tubules. Therefore, inhibition of these efflux pumps affects pharmacokinetics, unless compensated by other ATP-dependent efflux pumps with overlapping substrate specificities.

Abstract
Four series of aromatic carboxylic acids were prepared with a urea or thiourea moiety at the neighboring position to the carboxyl group and benzene or thiophene as aromatic scaffold. Using a calcein AM assay, these compounds were evaluated as inhibitors of multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) and selected compounds were examined toward P-glycoprotein (P-gp) as well as breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) to assess selectivity for MRP1. Two 2-thioureidobenzo[b]thiophene-3-carboxylic acids (48, 49) were identified as particularly potent inhibitors of MRP1, with IC50 values of around 1 microM. The structural features of this new family of nontoxic MRP1 inhibitors include a (thio)urea disubstituted with preferentially two alkyl groups at the terminal nitrogen and an additional fused aromatic ring.

Abstract
Currently, more than one fourth of all anticancer drugs are developed as oral formulations, and it is expected that this number will increase substantially in the near future. To enable oral drug therapy, adequate oral bioavailability must be achieved. Factors that have proved to be important in limiting the oral bioavailability are the presence of ATP-binding cassette drug transporters (ABC transporters) and the cytochrome P450 enzymes. We discuss the tissues distribution and physiological function of the ABC transporters in the human body, their expression in tumors, currently known polymorphisms and drugs that are able to inhibit their function as transporter. Furthermore, the role of the ABC transporters and drug-metabolizing enzymes as mechanisms to modulate the pharmacokinetics of anticancer agents, will be reviewed. Finally, some clinical examples of oral drug modulation are discussed. Among these examples are the coadministration of paclitaxel with CsA, a CYP3A4 substrate with P-glycoprotein (P-gp) modulating activity, and topotecan combined with the BCRP/P-gp transport inhibitor elacridar. Both are good examples of improvement of oral drug bioavailability by temporary inhibition of drug transporters in the gut epithelium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multi-drug resistance (MDR) of cancer cells is an obstacle to effective chemotherapy of cancer. The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, including P-glycoprotein (ABCB1), MRP1 (ABCC1) and ABCG2, play an important role in the development of this resistance. An attractive approach to overcoming MDR is the inhibition of the pumping action of these transporters. Several inhibitors/modulators of ABC transporters have been developed, but cytotoxic effects and adverse pharmacokinetics have prohibited their use. The ongoing search for such inhibitors/modulators that can be applied in the clinic has led to three generations of compounds. The most recent inhibitors are more potent and less toxic than first-generation compounds, yet some are still prone to adverse effects, poor solubility and unfavorable changes in the pharmacokinetics of the anticancer drugs. OBJECTIVE This review provides an update of the published work on the development of potent modulators to overcome MDR in cancer cells, their present status in clinical studies and suggestions for further improvement to obtain better inhibitors. METHODS This review summarizes recent advances in the development of less toxic modulators, including small molecules and natural products. In addition, a brief overview of other novel approaches that can be used to inhibit ABC drug transporters mediating MDR has also been provided. CONCLUSION The multifactorial nature of MDR indicates that it may be important to develop modulators that can simultaneously inhibit both the function of the drug transporters and key signaling pathways, which are responsible for development of this phenomenon.

Abstract
Membrane transport proteins belonging to the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family of transport proteins play a central role in the defence of organisms against toxic compounds, including anticancer drugs. However, for compounds that are designed to display a toxic effect, this defence system diminishes their effectiveness. This is typically the case in the development of cellular resistance to anticancer drugs. Inhibitors of these transporters are thus potentially useful tools to reverse this transporter-mediated cellular resistance to anticancer drugs and, eventually, to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment of patients with drug-resistant cancer. This review highlights the various types of inhibitors of several multidrug resistance-related ABC proteins, and demonstrates that the metabolism of inhibitors, as illustrated by recent data obtained for various natural compound inhibitors, may have considerable implications for their effect on drug transport and their potential for treatment of drug resistance.

Abstract
Multidrug Resistance Proteins (MRPs), together with the cystic fibrosis conductance regulator (CFTR/ABCC7) and the sulfonylurea receptors (SUR1/ABCC8 and SUR2/ABCC9) comprise the 13 members of the human "C" branch of the ATP binding cassette (ABC) superfamily. All C branch proteins share conserved structural features in their nucleotide binding domains (NBDs) that distinguish them from other ABC proteins. The MRPs can be further divided into two subfamilies "long" (MRP1, -2, -3, -6, and -7) and "short" (MRP4, -5, -8, -9, and -10). The short MRPs have a typical ABC transporter structure with two polytropic membrane spanning domains (MSDs) and two NBDs, while the long MRPs have an additional NH2-terminal MSD. In vitro, the MRPs can collectively confer resistance to natural product drugs and their conjugated metabolites, platinum compounds, folate antimetabolites, nucleoside and nucleotide analogs, arsenical and antimonial oxyanions, peptide-based agents, and, under certain circumstances, alkylating agents. The MRPs are also primary active transporters of other structurally diverse compounds, including glutathione, glucuronide, and sulfate conjugates of a large number of xeno- and endobiotics. In vivo, several MRPs are major contributors to the distribution and elimination of a wide range of both anticancer and non-anticancer drugs and metabolites. In this review, we describe what is known of the structure of the MRPs and the mechanisms by which they recognize and transport their diverse substrates. We also summarize knowledge of their possible physiological functions and evidence that they may be involved in the clinical drug resistance of various forms of cancer.

Abstract
Membrane transporters play important roles in mediating chemosensitivity and -resistance of tumor cells. ABC transporters, such as ABCB1/MDR1, ABCC1/MRP1 and ABCG2/BCRP, are frequently associated with decreased cellular accumulation of anticancer drugs and multidrug resistance of tumors. SLC transporters, such as folate, nucleoside, and amino acid transporters, commonly increase chemosensitivity by mediating the cellular uptake of hydrophilic drugs. Ion channels and pumps variably affect sensitivity to anticancer therapy by modulating viability of tumor cells. A pharmacogenomic approach, using correlations between drug potency and transporter gene expression in multiple cancer cell lines, has shown promise for identifying potential drug-transporter relationships and predicting anticancer drug response, in an effort to optimize chemotherapy for individual patients.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH)-conjugated xenobiotics and GSH-conjugated metabolites (e.g. the cysteinyl leukotriene C4) must be exported from the cells in which they are formed before they can be eliminated from the body or act on their cellular targets. This efflux is often mediated by the multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1) transporter, which also confers drug resistance to tumour cells and can protect normal cells from toxic insults. In addition to drugs and GSH conjugates, MRP1 exports GSH and GSH disulfide, and might thus have a role in cellular responses to oxidative stress. The transport of several drugs and conjugated organic anions by MRP1 requires the presence of GSH, but it is not well understood how GSH (and its analogues) enhances transport. Site-directed mutagenesis studies and biophysical analyses have provided important insights into the structural determinants of MRP1 that influence GSH and GSH conjugate binding and transport.

Abstract
Adverse drug reaction (ADR) is a significant issue in drug development and post-market applications. Different experimental and computational approaches need to be explored for predicting ADRs due to the complexity of their molecular mechanisms. One approach for predicting ADRs of a drug is to search for its interaction with ADR-related proteins (ADRRPs). In this work, this approach is tested on 11 marketed anti-HIV drugs covering protease inhibitors (PIs), nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). An in silico drug target search method, INVDOCK, is used for searching the ADRRPs of each of these drugs. The corresponding ADRs of the predicted ADRRPs of each of these drugs are compared to clinically observed ADRs reported in the literature. It is found that 86-89% of the INVDOCK predicted ADRs of these drugs are consistent with the literature reported ADRs, and about 67-100% of the literature-reported ADRs of these drugs to various degrees is agreed with INVDOCK predictions. These results suggest that it is feasible to explore in silico ADRRP search methods for facilitating drug toxicity prediction.

Abstract
Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies on the tricyclic isoxazole series of MRP1 modulators have resulted in the identification of potent and selective inhibitors containing cyclohexyl-based linkers. These studies ultimately identified compound 21b, which reverses drug resistance to MRP1 substrates, such as doxorubicin, in HeLa-T5 cells (EC(50)=0.093microM), while showing no inherent cytotoxicity. Additionally, 21b inhibits ATP-dependent, MRP1-mediated LTC(4) uptake into membrane vesicles prepared from the MRP1-overexpressing HeLa-T5 cells (EC(50)=0.064microM) and shows selectivity (1115-fold) against the related transporter, P-glycoprotein, in HL60/Adr and HL60/Vinc cells. Finally, when dosed in combination with the oncolytic MRP1 substrate vincristine, 21b showed tumor regression and growth delay in MRP1-overexpressing tumors in vivo.

Abstract
The splicing factor SPF45 (RBM17) is frequently overexpressed in many solid tumors, and stable expression in HeLa cells confers resistance to doxorubicin and vincristine. In this study, we characterized stable transfectants of A2780 ovarian carcinoma cells. In a 3-day cytotoxicity assay, human SPF45 overexpression conferred 3- to 21-fold resistance to carboplatin, vinorelbine, doxorubicin, etoposide, mitoxantrone, and vincristine. In addition, resistance to gemcitabine and pemetrexed was observed at the highest drug concentrations tested. Knockdown of SPF45 in parental A2780 cells using a hammerhead ribozyme sensitized A2780 cells to etoposide by approximately 5-fold relative to a catalytically inactive ribozyme control and untransfected cells, suggesting a role for SPF45 in intrinsic resistance to some drugs. A2780-SPF45 cells accumulated similar levels of doxorubicin as vector-transfected and parental A2780 cells, indicating that drug resistance is not due to differences in drug accumulation. Efforts to identify small molecules that could block SPF45-mediated drug resistance revealed that the selective estrogen receptor (ER) modulators tamoxifen and LY117018 (a raloxifene analogue) partially reversed SPF45-mediated drug resistance to mitoxantrone in A2780-SPF45 cells from 21-fold to 8- and 5-fold, respectively, but did not significantly affect the mitoxantrone sensitivity of vector control cells. Quantitative PCR showed that ERbeta but not ERalpha was expressed in A2780 transfectants. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments suggest that SPF45 and ERbeta physically interact in vivo. Thus, SPF45-mediated drug resistance in A2780 cells may result in part from effects of SPF45 on the transcription or alternate splicing of ERbeta-regulated genes.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1) belongs to the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family. It is able to transport a broad range of anticancer drugs through cellular membranes, thus limiting their antiproliferative action. Since its discovery in 1992, MRP1 has been the most studied among MRP proteins, which now count nine members. Besides the biological work, which targets structure elucidation, binding sites location, and mode of action, most efforts have been focused on finding molecules which act as MRP1 inhibitors. In this review, we attempt to summarize and highlight studies dealing with modulators of MRP1-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR), which have been accomplished in the last 5 years. The reported MRP1 inhibitors are discussed according to their chemical class. Finally, we try to bring information on structure-activity relationship (SAR) aspects and how modulators might interact with MRP1. This study may facilitate the rational design of future modulators of MDR.

Abstract
To study the possible interplay between glutathione metabolism of and MRP inhibition by thiol reactive compounds, the interactions of a series of alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with multidrug resistance proteins 1 and 2 (MRP1/ABCC1 and MRP2/ABCC2) were studied. Alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds react with glutathione, and therefore either their parent compound or their intracellularly formed glutathione metabolite(s) can modulate MRP-activity. Inhibition was studied in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells stably expressing MRP1 or MRP2, and isolated Sf9-MRP1 or Sf9-MRP2 membrane vesicles. In the latter model system metabolism is not an issue. Of the series tested, three distinct groups could be discriminated based on differences in interplay of glutathione metabolism with MRP1 inhibition. Curcumin inhibited MRP1 transport only in the vesicle model pointing at inhibition by the parent compound. The glutathione conjugates of curcumin also inhibit MRP1 mediated transport, but to a much lesser extent than the parent compound curcumin. In the cellular model system, it was demonstrated that glutathione conjugation of curcumin leads to inactivation of its inhibitory potential. Demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin inhibited MRP1 in both the vesicle and cellular model pointing at inhibitory potency of at least the parent compound and possibly their metabolites. A second group, including caffeic acid phenethyl ester inhibited MRP1-mediated calcein transport only in the MDCKII-MRP1 cells, and not in the vesicle model indicating that metabolism appeared a prerequisite to generate the active inhibitor. Finally cinnamaldehyde, crotonaldehyde, trans-2-hexanal, citral, and acrolein did not inhibit MRP1. For MRP2, inhibition was much less in both model systems, with the three curcuminoids being the most effective. The results of this study show the importance to study the complex interplay between MRP-inhibitors and their cellular metabolism, the latter affecting the ultimate potential of a compound for cellular MRP-inhibition.

Abstract
In the present study, the effects of myricetin on either MRP1 or MRP2 mediated vincristine resistance in transfected MDCKII cells were examined. The results obtained show that myricetin can inhibit both MRP1 and MRP2 mediated vincristine efflux in a concentration dependent manner. The IC50 values for cellular vincristine transport inhibition by myricetin were 30.5+/-1.7 microM for MRP1 and 24.6+/-1.3 microM for MRP2 containing MDCKII cells. Cell proliferation analysis showed that the MDCKII control cells are very sensitive towards vincristine toxicity with an IC50 value of 1.1+/-0.1 microM. The MDCKII MRP1 and MRP2 cells are less sensitive towards vincristine toxicity with IC50 values of 33.1+/-1.9 and 22.2+/-1.4 microM, respectively. In both the MRP1 and MRP2 cells, exposure to 25 microM myricetin enhances the sensitivity of the cells towards vincristine toxicity to IC50 values of 7.6+/-0.5 and 5.8+/-0.5 microM, respectively. The increase of sensitivity represents a reversal of the resistance towards vincristine as a result of MRP1 and MRP2 inhibition. Thus, the present study demonstrates the ability of the flavonoid myricetin to modulate MRP1 and MRP2 mediated resistance to the anticancer drug vincristine in transfected cells, indicating that flavonoids might be a valuable adjunct to chemotherapy to block MRP mediated resistance.

Abstract
In the present study, the effects of a large series of flavonoids on multidrug resistance proteins (MRPs) were studied in MRP1 and MRP2 transfected MDCKII cells. The results were used to define the structural requirements of flavonoids necessary for potent inhibition of MRP1- and MRP2-mediated calcein transport in a cellular model. Several of the methoxylated flavonoids are among the best MRP1 inhibitors (IC(50) values, ranging between 2.7 and 14.3 microM) followed by robinetin, myricetin and quercetin (IC(50) values ranging between 13.6 and 21.8 microM). Regarding inhibition of MRP2 activity especially robinetin and myricetin appeared to be good inhibitors (IC(50) values of 15.0 and 22.2 microM, respectively). Kinetic characterization revealed that the two transporters differ marginally in the apparent K(m) for the substrate calcein. For one flavonoid, robinetin, the kinetics of inhibition were studied in more detail and revealed competitive inhibition with respect to calcein, with apparent inhibition constants of 5.0 microM for MRP1 and 8.5 microM for MRP2. For inhibition of MRP1, a quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) was obtained that indicates three structural characteristics to be of major importance for MRP1 inhibition by flavonoids: the total number of methoxylated moieties, the total number of hydroxyl groups and the dihedral angle between the B- and C-ring. Regarding MRP2 mediated calcein efflux inhibition, only the presence of a flavonol B-ring pyrogallol group seems to be an important structural characteristic. Overall, this study provides insight in the structural characteristics involved in MRP inhibition and explores the differences between inhibitors of these two transporters, MRP1 and MRP2. Ultimately, MRP2 displays higher selectivity for flavonoid type inhibition than MRP1.

Abstract
It is assumed that proteins from the ABC family (i.e., glycoprotein P (Pgp)) and a multidrug resistance associated protein (MRP) play a main role in the occurrence of multidrug resistance (MDR) in tumour cells. Other factors that influence the rise of MDR are mechanisms connected with change in the effectiveness of the glutathione cycle and with decrease in expression of topoisomerases I and II. The aim of this review is to characterize drugs applied in anti-tumour therapy and to describe the present state of knowledge concerning the mechanisms of MDR occurrence, as well as the pharmacological agents applied in reducing this phenomenon.

Abstract
The ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter, multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1/ABCC1), transports a broad spectrum of conjugated and unconjugated compounds, including natural product chemotherapeutic agents. In this study, we have investigated the importance of the COOH-terminal region of MRP1 for transport activity and basolateral plasma membrane trafficking. The COOH-terminal regions of some ABCC proteins have been implicated in protein trafficking, but the function of this region of MRP1 has not been defined. In contrast to results obtained with other ABCC proteins, we found that the COOH-proximal 30 amino acids of MRP1 can be removed without affecting trafficking to basolateral membranes. However, the truncated protein is inactive. Furthermore, removal of as few as 4 COOH-terminal amino acids profoundly decreases transport activity. Although amino acid sequence conservation of the COOH-terminal regions of ABC proteins is low, secondary structure predictions indicate that they consist of a broadly conserved helix-sheet-sheet-helix-helix structure. Consistent with a conservation of secondary and tertiary structure, MRP1 hybrids containing the COOH-terminal regions of either the homologous MRP2 or the distantly related P-glycoprotein were fully active and trafficked normally. Using mutated proteins, we have identified structural elements containing five conserved hydrophobic amino acids that are required for activity. We show that these are important for binding and hydrolysis of ATP by nucleotide binding domain 2. Based on crystal structures of several ABC proteins, we suggest that the conserved amino acids may stabilize a helical bundle formed by the COOH-terminal three helices and may contribute to interactions between the COOH-terminal region and the protein's two nucleotide binding domains.

Abstract
Several of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters confer resistance to anticancer agents and/or antiviral agents when overexpressed in drug-sensitive cells. Recently a MRP1 (ABCC1) tricyclic isoxazole inhibitor, LY475776 was shown to be a glutathione-dependent photoaffinity label of human MRP1 and showed poor labeling of murine mrp1, an ortholog that does not confer anthracycline resistance. In the present study, the specificity of LY475776 was examined for its ability to modulate or photolabel orthologs of MRP1 and several other drug efflux transporters of the ABC transporter family. LY475776 modulated MRP1 and Pgp-mediated resistance (MDR, ABCB1) in, respectively, HeLa-T5 and CEM/VLB(100) cells to both vincristine and doxorubicin. LY475776 photolabeled 170kDa Pgp and was inhibited by the potent Pgp inhibitor LY335979 (Zosuquidar.3HCl). The labeling of the 190kDa MRP1 protein in membranes of HeLa-T5 cells was inhibited by substrates of MRP1 such as leukotriene C(4), vincrisine, and doxorubicin and by the inhibitor, MK571. LY475776 did not photolabel human MRP2 (ABCC2), MRP3 (ABCC3), MRP5 (ABCC5) or breast cancer resistance protein (ABCG2). Because LY475776 photolabels murine mrp1 less well than human MRP1 and binds to a region believed important for anthracycline binding, studies were conducted with monkey and canine MRP1 which also show a reduced ability to confer resistance to anthracyclines. Unlike murine mrp1, both orthologs were photolabeled well by LY475776. These studies indicate that the specificity of LY475776 is fairly limited to Pgp and MRP1 and further studies will help to define the binding regions.

Abstract
Many lead compounds with the potential to progress to viable drug candidates have been identified from libraries during the past two years. There are two key strategies most often employed to find leads from libraries: first, high-throughput biological screening of corporate compound collections; and second, synthesis and screening of project-directed libraries (i.e. target-based libraries). Numerous success stories, including the discovery of several clinical candidates, testify to the utility of chemical library collections as proven sources of new leads for drug development.

Abstract
With the realization of the importance of drug efflux transporters in disease processes and treatment, development of inhibitors to these transporters has been sought for use as adjuncts to therapy. To date, inhibitors that have been best studied are modulators of P-glycoprotein, a transporter important in the removal of anticancer agents from cells and overexpression of this transporter results in multidrug resistance. There is a delicate balance between efficacy and toxicity. This review summarizes key learning points in the development of P-glycoprotein inhibitors. Topics covered include specificity of the inhibitor for the target transporter, effect on metabolism of coadministered drugs, pharmacokinetic interactions, toxicity and the salient features needed for efficacy. These points will have general application to the development of inhibitors of transporters.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1/ABCC1) is an ATP-dependent transporter of structurally diverse organic anion conjugates. The protein also actively transports a number of non-conjugated chemotherapeutic drugs and certain anionic conjugates by a presently poorly understood GSH-dependent mechanism. LY475776is a newly developed (125)I-labeled azido tricyclic isoxazole that binds toMRP1 with high affinity and specificity in a GSH-dependent manner. The compound has also been shown to photolabel a site in the COOH-proximal region of MRP1's third membrane spanning domain (MSD). It is presently not known where GSH interacts with the protein. Here, we demonstrate that the photactivateable GSH derivative azidophenacyl-GSH can substitute functionally for GSH in supporting the photolabeling of MRP1 by LY475776 and the transport of another GSH-dependent substrate, estrone 3-sulfate. In contrast to LY475776, azidophenacyl-[(35)S] photolabels both halves of the protein. Photolabeling of the COOH-proximal site can be markedly stimulated by low concentrations of estrone 3-sulfate, suggestive of cooperativity between the binding of these two compounds. We show that photolabeling of the COOH-proximal site by LY475776 and the labeling of both NH(2)- and COOH- proximal sites by azidophenacyl-GSH requires the cytoplasmic linker (CL3) region connecting the first and second MSDs of the protein, but not the first MSD itself. Although required for binding, CL3 is not photolabeled by azidophenacyl-GSH. Finally, we identify non-conserved amino acids in the third MSD that contribute to the high affinity with which LY475776 binds to MRP1.

Abstract
Substrates transported by the 190-kDa multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1) (ABCC1) include endogenous organic anions such as the cysteinyl leukotriene C(4). In addition, MRP1 confers resistance against various anticancer drugs by reducing intracellular accumulation by co-export of drug with reduced GSH. We have examined the properties of LY475776, an intrinsically photoactivable MRP1-specific tricyclic isoxazole modulator that inhibits leukotriene C(4) transport by this protein in a GSH-dependent manner. We show that [125I]LY475776 photolabeling of MRP1 requires GSH but is also supported by several non-reducing GSH derivatives and peptide analogs. Limited proteolysis revealed that [(125)I]LY475776 labeling was confined to the 75-kDa COOH-proximal half of MRP1. More extensive proteolysis generated two major 125I-labeled fragments of approximately 56 and approximately 41 kDa, and immunoblotting with regionally directed antibodies showed that these fragments correspond to amino acids approximately 1045-1531 and approximately 1150-1531, respectively. However, an approximately 33-kDa COOH-terminal immunoreactive fragment was not labeled, inferring that the major [125I]LY475776-labeling site resides approximately between amino acids 1150-1250. This region encompasses transmembrane (TM) segments 16 and 17 at the COOH-proximal end of the third membrane spanning domain of the protein. [125I]LY475776 labeling of mutant MRP1 molecules with substitutions of Trp(1246) in TM17 were reduced >80% compared with wild-type MRP1, confirming that TM17 is important for LY475776 binding. Finally, vanadate-induced trapping of ADP inhibited [125I]LY475776 labeling, suggesting that ATP hydrolysis causes a conformational change in MRP1 that reduces the affinity of the protein for this inhibitor.
