Abstract
P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is known for its dichotomous roles as both a safeguarding efflux transporter against xenobiotics and as a catalyst for multidrug resistance. Given the susceptibility of numerous therapeutic compounds to Pgp-mediated resistance, compliance with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines mandates an in-depth in vitro transport assay during drug development. This study introduces an innovative transport assay that aligns with these regulatory imperatives but also addresses limitations in the currently established techniques. Using Pgp-reconstituted liposomes and employing surface plasmon resonance (SPR), this study developed a distinct method of measuring the relative transport rates of Pgp substrates in a controlled microenvironment. The Pgp substrates selected for this study-quinidine, methadone, and desipramine-resulted in transport ratios that corroborate with trends previously observed. To assess the kinetics of Pgp-mediated transport, the results were analyzed by fitting the data to both currently proposed Pgp substrate translocation models-the vacuum cleaner and flippase models. While the resulting kinetic analysis in this study lends support predominantly to the vacuum cleaner model, this study most notably developed a novel method of assessing Pgp-mediated transport rates and real-time kinetics using surface plasmon resonance.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the pathogen that causes tuberculosis (TB), a leading infectious disease of humans worldwide. One of the main histopathological hallmarks of TB is the formation of granulomas comprised of elaborately organized aggregates of immune cells containing the pathogen. Dissemination of Mtb from infected cells in the granulomas due to host and mycobacterial factors induces multiple cell death modalities in infected cells. Based on molecular mechanism, morphological characteristics, and signal dependency, there are two main categories of cell death: programmed and nonprogrammed. Programmed cell death (PCD), such as apoptosis and autophagy, is associated with a protective response to Mtb by keeping the bacteria encased within dead macrophages that can be readily phagocytosed by arriving in uninfected or neighboring cells. In contrast, non-PCD necrotic cell death favors the pathogen, resulting in bacterial release into the extracellular environment. Multiple types of cell death in the PCD category, including pyroptosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis, ETosis, parthanatos, and PANoptosis, may be involved in Mtb infection. Since PCD pathways are essential for host immunity to Mtb, therapeutic compounds targeting cell death signaling pathways have been experimentally tested for TB treatment. This review summarizes different modalities of Mtb-mediated host cell deaths, the molecular mechanisms underpinning host cell death during Mtb infection, and its potential implications for host immunity. In addition, targeting host cell death pathways as potential therapeutic and preventive approaches against Mtb infection is also discussed.

Abstract
Head-to-tail cyclic and disulfide-rich peptides are natural products with applications in drug design. Among these are the PawS-Derived Peptides (PDPs) produced in seeds of the daisy plant family. PDP-23 is a unique member of this class in that it is twice the typical size and adopts two β-hairpins separated by a hinge region. The β-hairpins, both stabilised by a single disulfide bond, fold together into a V-shaped tertiary structure creating a hydrophobic core. In water two PDP-23 molecules merge their hydrophobic cores to form a square prism quaternary structure. Here, we synthesised PDP-23 and its enantiomer comprising d-amino acids and achiral glycine, which allowed us to confirm these solution NMR structural data by racemic crystallography. Furthermore, we discovered the related PDP-24. NMR analysis showed that PDP-24 does not form a dimeric structure and it has poor water solubility, but in less polar solvents adopts near identical secondary and tertiary structure to PDP-23. The natural role of these peptides in plants remains enigmatic, as we did not observe any antimicrobial or insecticidal activity. However, the plasticity of these larger PDPs and their ability to change structure under different conditions make them appealing peptide drug scaffolds. Larger members of the PawS-Derived family of cyclic plant peptides form complex structures. The graphical abstract shows the racemic crystal structure of the homodimeric PDP-23 as well as the solution NMR structure of PDP-24.![]()

Abstract
Head-to-tail cyclized peptides are intriguing natural products with unusual properties. The PawS-Derived Peptides (PDPs) are ribosomally synthesized as part of precursors for seed storage albumins in species of the daisy family, and are post-translationally excised and cyclized during proteolytic processing. Here we report a PDP twice the typical size and with two disulfide bonds, identified from seeds of Zinnia elegans. In water, synthetic PDP-23 forms a unique dimeric structure in which two monomers containing two β-hairpins cross-clasp and enclose a hydrophobic core, creating a square prism. This dimer can be split by addition of micelles or organic solvent and in monomeric form PDP-23 adopts open or closed V-shapes, exposing different levels of hydrophobicity dependent on conditions. This chameleonic character is unusual for disulfide-rich peptides and engenders PDP-23 with potential for cell delivery and accessing novel targets. We demonstrate this by conjugating a rhodamine dye to PDP-23, creating a stable, cell-penetrating inhibitor of the P-glycoprotein drug efflux pump.

Abstract
Mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) plays a key role in vital mitochondrial functions, and its dissipation is a hallmark of mitochondrial dysfunction. The objective of this study was to develop an experimental and computational approach for estimating Δψm in intact rat lungs using the lipophilic fluorescent cationic dye rhodamine 6G (R6G). Rat lungs were excised and connected to a ventilation-perfusion system. The experimental protocol consisted of three single-pass phases, loading, washing, and uncoupling, in which the lungs were perfused with R6G-containing perfusate, fresh R6G-free perfusate, or R6G-free perfusate containing the mitochondrial uncoupler FCCP, respectively. This protocol was carried out with lung perfusate containing verapamil vehicle or verapamil, an inhibitor of the multidrug efflux pump P-glycoprotein (Pgp). Results show that the addition of FCCP resulted in an increase in R6G venous effluent concentration and that this increase was larger in the presence of verapamil than in its absence. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for the pulmonary disposition of R6G was developed and used for quantitative interpretation of the kinetic data, including estimating Δψm. The estimated value of Δψm [-144 ± 24 (SD) mV] was not significantly altered by inhibiting Pgp with verapamil and is comparable with that estimated previously in cultured pulmonary endothelial cells. These results demonstrate the utility of the proposed approach for quantifying Δψm in intact functioning lungs. This approach has potential to provide quantitative assessment of the effect of injurious conditions on lung mitochondrial function and to evaluate the impact of therapies that target mitochondria.NEW & NOTEWORTHY A novel experimental and computational approach for estimating mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) in intact functioning lungs is presented. The isolated rat lung inlet-outlet concentrations of the fluorescent cationic dye rhodamine 6G were measured and analyzed by using a computational model of its pulmonary disposition to determine Δψm. The approach has the potential to provide quantitative assessment of the effect of injurious conditions and their therapies on lung mitochondrial function.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the oldest known human diseases and is transmitted by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). TB has a rich history with evidence of TB infections dating back to 5,800 bc TB is unique in its ability to remain latent in an individual for decades, with the possibility of later reactivation, causing widespread systemic symptoms. Currently, it is estimated that more than one-third of the world's population (~2 billion people) are infected with Mtb. Prolonged periods of therapy and complexity of treatment regimens, especially in active infection, have led to poor compliance in patients being treated for TB. Therefore, it is vitally important to have a thorough knowledge of the pathophysiology of Mtb to understand the disease progression, as well as to develop novel diagnostic tests and treatments. Alveolar macrophages represent both the primary host cell and the first line of defense against the Mtb infection. Apoptosis and autophagy of macrophages play a vital role in the pathogenesis and also in the host defense against Mtb. This review will outline the role of these two cellular processes in defense against Mtb with particular emphasis on innate immunity and explore developing therapies aimed at altering host responses to the disease.

Abstract
This review of the basics of cancer metabolism focuses on exploiting the metabolic differences between normal and cancer cells. The first part of the review covers the different metabolic pathways utilized in normal cells to generate cellular energy, or ATP, and the glycolytic intermediates required to build the cellular machinery. The second part of the review discusses aerobic glycolysis, or the Warburg effect, and the metabolic reprogramming involving glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, and glutaminolysis in the context of developing targeted inhibitors in cancer cells. Finally, the selective targeting of cancer mitochondrial metabolism using positively charged lipophilic compounds as potential therapeutics and their ability to mitigate the toxic side effects of conventional chemotherapeutics in normal cells are discussed. I hope this graphical review will be useful in helping undergraduate, graduate, and medical students understand how investigating the basics of cancer cell metabolism could provide new insight in developing potentially new anticancer treatment strategies. Exploiting biochemical and metabolic differences between normal and cancer cells. Mitigating reverse Warburg effect in the tumor stroma or microenvironment to hinder tumor growth. Dual targeting of glycolysis and mitochondrial metabolism to inhibit tumor cell proliferation.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the reversal effect and its related mechanism of Ginkgo biloba exocarp extracts (GBEEs) in obtained multidrug resistance (MDR) of mice S180 tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. In order to simulate the clinical PFC [cis-dichlorodiamineplatinum, cisplatin (DDP) + fluorouracil (FU), FU+cyclophosphamide and cyclophosphamide] scheme, a gradually increasing dose was administered in a phased induction in order to induce S180 cells in vivo and to make them obtain multidrug resistance. The results in vitro demonstrated that GBEE could significantly increase the IC50 of DDP on S180 MDR cells, increase the accumulation of Adriamycin (ADR) and rhodamine 123 (Rho 123), and reduce the efflux of Rho 123 of S180 MDR cells. The results from the in vivo treatment with a combination of GBEE and DDP to S180 MDR ascites tumor in mice demonstrated that each dose of GBEE could effectively reverse the drug-resistance of S180 MDR cells to DDP in order to extend the survival time of mice with ascite tumors and inhibit tumor growth in solid tumor mice. In addition, GBEE effectively inhibited the expression of MDR-1 mRNA and multidrug resistance-associated protein-1 mRNA in S180 MDR cells of ascites tumor in mice and improved the expression levels of cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-3, IL-18 and interferon-γ in the blood serum of S180 MDR tumor-bearing mice. The present study showed that the mechanism of GBEE reversal of MDR may be associated with the inhibition of the functional activity of P-glycoprotein, the downregulation of drug resistance related gene expression of S180 MDR cells and the improvement of the production of related serum cytokines of S180 MDR tumor mice.

These compounds were examined for their photophysical properties (absorption, fluorescence, and ability to generate singlet oxygen), for their uptake into Colo-26 cells in the absence or presence of verapamil, for their dark and phototoxicity toward Colo-26 cells, for their rates of transport in monolayers of multidrug-resistant, P-gp-overexpressing MDCKII-MDR1 cells, and for their colocalization with mitochondrial specific agents in Colo-26 cells. Thioamide derivatives 16b and 18b were more effective photosensitizers than amide derivatives 15b and 17b. Selenorhodamine thioamides 16b and 18b were useful in a combination therapy to treat Colo-26 cells in vitro: a synergistic therapeutic effect was observed when Colo-26 cells were exposed to PDT and treatment with the cancer drug doxorubicin.

Abstract
ABCB5, an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, is highly expressed in melanoma cells, and may contribute to the extreme resistance of melanomas to chemotherapy by efflux of anti-cancer drugs. Our goal was to determine whether we could functionally express human ABCB5 in the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in order to demonstrate an efflux function for ABCB5 in the absence of background pump activity from other human transporters. Heterologous expression would also facilitate drug discovery for this important target. DNAs encoding ABCB5 sequences were cloned into the chromosomal PDR5 locus of a S. cerevisiae strain in which seven endogenous ABC transporters have been deleted. Protein expression in the yeast cells was monitored by immunodetection using both a specific anti-ABCB5 antibody and a cross-reactive anti-ABCB1 antibody. ABCB5 function in recombinant yeast cells was measured by determining whether the cells possessed increased resistance to known pump substrates, compared to the host yeast strain, in assays of yeast growth. Three ABCB5 constructs were made in yeast. One was derived from the ABCB5-β mRNA, which is highly expressed in human tissues but is a truncation of a canonical full-size ABC transporter. Two constructs contained full-length ABCB5 sequences: either a native sequence from cDNA or a synthetic sequence codon-harmonized for S. cerevisiae. Expression of all three constructs in yeast was confirmed by immunodetection. Expression of the codon-harmonized full-length ABCB5 DNA conferred increased resistance, relative to the host yeast strain, to the putative substrates rhodamine 123, daunorubicin, tetramethylrhodamine, FK506, or clorgyline. We conclude that full-length ABCB5 can be functionally expressed in S. cerevisiae and confers drug resistance.

Abstract
Twelve thiorhodamine derivatives have been examined for their ability to stimulate the ATPase activity of purified human P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-His(10), to promote uptake of calcein AM and vinblastine into multidrug-resistant, P-gp-overexpressing MDCKII-MDR1 cells, and for their rates of transport in monolayers of multidrug-resistant, P-gp-overexpressing MDCKII-MDR1 cells. The thiorhodamine derivatives have structural diversity from amide and thioamide functionality (N,N-diethyl and N-piperidyl) at the 5-position of a 2-thienyl substituent on the thiorhodamine core and from diversity at the 3-amino substituent with N,N-dimethylamino, fused azadecalin (julolidyl), and fused N-methylcyclohexylamine (half-julolidyl) substituents. The julolidyl and half-julolidyl derivatives were more effective inhibitors of P-gp than the dimethylamino analogues. Amide-containing derivatives were transported much more rapidly than thioamide-containing derivatives.

Abstract
Loperamide is an FDA-approved antidiarrhea drug which acts on the μ-opioid receptors in the mesenteric plexus of large intestine and exhibits limited side effects. We hypothesized that loperamide might reverse the multidrug resistance (MDR) of human cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents. MCF-7/MDR1 cells express high level of MDR1 and are resistant to doxorubicin. We found that loperamide significantly enhanced the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin to MCF-7/MDR1 cells in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, loperamide reversed the resistance of MCF-7/MDR1 cells to doxorubicin, suggesting that chemotherapy in combination with loperamide may benefit patients with MDR tumors once applied in clinic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Since tumor radiation response is oxygen-dependent, radiosensitivity can be enhanced by increasing tumor oxygenation. Theoretically, inhibiting cellular oxygen consumption is the most efficient way to increase oxygen levels. The cationic, rhodacyanine dye-analog MKT-077 inhibits mitochondrial respiration and could be an effective metabolic inhibitor. However, the relationship between cellular MKT-077 uptake and metabolic inhibition is unknown. We hypothesized that rat and human mammary carcinoma cells would take up MKT-077, causing a decrease in oxygen metabolism related to drug uptake. METHODS R3230Ac rat breast adenocarcinoma cells were exposed to MKT-077. Cellular MKT-077 concentration was quantified using spectroscopy, and oxygen consumption was measured using polarographic electrodes. MKT-077 uptake kinetics were modeled by accounting for uptake due to both the concentration and potential gradients across the plasma and mitochondrial membranes. These kinetic parameters were used to model the relationship between MKT-077 uptake and metabolic inhibition. MKT-077-induced changes in oxygen consumption were also characterized in MDA-MB231 human breast carcinoma cells. RESULTS Cells took up MKT-077 with a time constant of ∼1 hr, and modeling showed that over 90% of intracellular MKT-077 was bound or sequestered, likely by the mitochondria. The uptake resulted in a rapid decrease in oxygen consumption, with a time constant of ∼30 minutes. Surprisingly the change in oxygen consumption was proportional to uptake rate, not cellular concentration. MKT-077 proved a potent metabolic inhibitor, with dose-dependent decreases of 45-73% (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS MKT-077 caused an uptake rate-dependent decrease in cellular metabolism, suggesting potential efficacy for increasing tumor oxygen levels and radiosensitivity in vivo.

Abstract
Our goal was to quantify mitochondrial and plasma potential (Δψ(m) and Δψ(p)) based on the disposition of rhodamine 123 (R123) or tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester (TMRE) in the medium surrounding pulmonary endothelial cells. Dyes were added to the medium, and their concentrations in extracellular medium ([R(e)]) were measured over time. R123 [R(e)] fell from 10 nM to 6.6 ± 0.1 (SE) nM over 120 min. TMRE [R(e)] fell from 20 nM to a steady state of 4.9 ± 0.4 nM after ∼30 min. Protonophore or high K(+) concentration ([K(+)]), used to manipulate contributions of membrane potentials, attenuated decreases in [R(e)], and P-glycoprotein (Pgp) inhibition had the opposite effect, demonstrating the qualitative impact of these processes on [R(e)]. A kinetic model incorporating a modified Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz model was fit to [R(e)] vs. time data for R123 and TMRE, respectively, under various conditions to obtain (means ± 95% confidence intervals) Δψ(m) (-130 ± 7 and -133 ± 4 mV), Δψ(p) (-36 ± 4 and -49 ± 4 mV), and a Pgp activity parameter (K(Pgp), 25 ± 5 and 51 ± 11 μl/min). The higher membrane permeability of TMRE also allowed application of steady-state analysis to obtain Δψ(m) (-124 ± 6 mV). The consistency of kinetic parameter values obtained from R123 and TMRE data demonstrates the utility of this experimental and theoretical approach for quantifying intact cell Δψ(m) and Δψ(p.) Finally, steady-state analysis revealed that although room air- and hyperoxia-exposed (95% O(2) for 48 h) cells have equivalent resting Δψ(m), hyperoxic cell Δψ(m) was more sensitive to depolarization with protonophore, consistent with previous observations of pulmonary endothelial hyperoxia-induced mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to build a reliable model based on the artificial neural network (ANN) for predicting the blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and reveal the effects of the molecular descriptor on the BBB permeability. Eight descriptors including high-affinity P-gp substrate probability and plasma protein binding ratio are selected to develop the model. The three layers feedforward neural network (8-5-1) is employed for the prediction of logBB. By analyzing the experimental results, polar surface area (PSA) seems to be the most important factor for BBB permeability. Different from traditional view, the Abraham's hydrogen-bond basicity (HBB) can make a positive contribution to logBB in rational range. The experimental results show that the ANN based model with eight selected descriptors as inputs can achieve good performance for logBB prediction, and the results of sensitivity analysis can be confirmed by the present biological and chemical research.

Abstract
We have examined 46 tetramethylrosamine/rhodamine derivatives with structural diversity in the heteroatom of the xanthylium core, the amino substituents of the 3- and 6-positions, and the alkyl, aryl, or heteroaryl group at the 9-substituent. These compounds were examined for affinity and ATPase stimulation in isolated MDR3 CL P-gp and human P-gp-His(10), for their ability to promote uptake of calcein AM and vinblastine in multidrug-resistant MDCKII-MDR1 cells, and for transport in monolayers of MDCKII-MDR1 cells. Thioamide 31-S gave K(M) of 0.087 microM in human P-gp. Small changes in structure among this set of compounds affected affinity as well as transport rate (or flux) even though all derivatives examined were substrates for P-gp. With isolated protein, tertiary amide groups dictate high affinity and high stimulation while tertiary thioamide groups give high affinity and inhibition of ATPase activity. In MDCKII-MDR1 cells, the tertiary thioamide-containing derivatives promote uptake of calcein AM and have very slow passive, absorptive, and secretory rates of transport relative to transport rates for tertiary amide-containing derivatives. Thioamide 31-S promoted uptake of calcein AM and inhibited efflux of vinblastine with IC(50)'s of approximately 2 microM in MDCKII-MDR1 cells.

Abstract
The present study aimed to elucidate the contribution of the intracellular binding of drugs to multidrug resistance. For this purpose, uptake of rhodamines was studied in cells whose mitochondria had been uncoupled with carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone. Surprisingly, in a variety of drug-untreated cells, presumed to be sensitive to multidrug resistance-type drugs, rhodamines were excluded from entering the cells. Thus, the amount of rhodamine 123 taken up into parental untreated K562 cells was less than the amount bound to the cell exterior. Rhodamine uptake was prevented by an active efflux pump. The efflux was inhibited by 4-chloro-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-Cl) and MK571 and, to a lesser extent, by ATP depletion, indomethacin, probenecid and vanadate. All the inhibitors, apart from NBD-Cl, are known to modulate multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) 1. Because MRP1 was expressed in all the cell lines tested and the efflux of rhodamines in MRP1 over-expressing cells was abolished by NBD-Cl, it appears that rhodamines are excluded from these cells by MRP1. On the other hand, the uptake of rhodamines into cells respiring with their coupled mitochondria demonstrated diminished sensitivity to NBD-Cl and MK571. Thus, active pumping into the mitochondria allowed enhanced uptake into the cells, overcoming the innate resistance. The innate resistance provided by MRP1 to cells prevents rhodamine dyes, and possibly drugs such as doxorubicin, from achieving equilibration of their concentration in the cytoplasm with their concentration in the external medium. The protection provided to multidrug resistance cells by ABC transporters has to overcome competition by passive uptake of the drugs and binding/uptake of the drugs into intracellular targets.

Abstract
A series of chalcogenopyrylium dyes were evaluated as modulators/inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (Pgp). Their ability to inhibit verapamil (VER)-dependent ATPase activity (IC(50) values) in lipid-activated, mouse Cys-less mdr3 Pgp was determined. Their ability to promote calcein-AM (CAM) uptake in MDCKII-MDR1 cells and their capacity to be transported by Pgp in monolayers of MDCKII-MDR1 cells were also evaluated. The chalcogenopyrylium dyes promoted CAM uptake with values of EC(50) between 5 x 10(-6) and 3.5 x 10(-5)M and 7 of the 9 dyes examined in transport studies were substrates for Pgp with efflux ratios (P(BA/AB)) between 14 and 390. Binding of three compounds (1-S, 3-S, and 4-S) to Pgp was also assessed by fluorescence. These three thiopyrylium dyes showed increased fluorescence upon binding to Pgp, giving apparent binding constants, K(app), on the order of 10(-7) to 10(-6)M. Compound 8-Te was particularly intriguing since it appeared to influence Pgp at low micromolar concentrations as evidenced by its influence on VER-stimulated ATPase activity (IC(50) of 1.2 x 10(-6)M), CAM uptake (EC(50) of 5.4 x 10(-6)M), as well as [(3)H]-vinblastine transport by Pgp in cells (IC(50) of 4.3 x 10(-6)M) and within inside-out membrane vesicles (IC(50) of 9.6 x 10(-6)M). Yet, Pgp did not influence the distribution of 8-Te in MDCKII-MDR1 monolayers suggesting that 8-Te may bind to an allosteric site.

Abstract
The multidrug efflux pump P-glycoprotein (Pgp) couples drug transport to ATP hydrolysis. Previously, using a synthetic library of tetramethylrosamine ( TMR) analogues, we observed significant variation in ATPase stimulation ( V m (D)). Concentrations required for half-maximal ATPase stimulation ( K m (D)) correlated with ATP hydrolysis transition-state stabilization and ATP occlusion (EC 50 (D)) at a single site. Herein, we characterize several TMR analogues that elicit modest turnover ( k cat <or= 1-2 s (-1)) compared to verapamil (VER) ( k cat approximately 10 s (-1)). Apparent ATPase activities manifest as nearly equivalent to basal values. In some cases, K m (D) parameters for drug stimulation of ATPase could not be accurately determined, yet these same TMR analogues promoted ATP occlusion at relatively low concentrations ( approximately 0.4-40 microM). Moreover, the TMR analogues competitively inhibited VER-dependent ATPase activity at concentrations similar to those required for ATP occlusion. Finally, the TMR analogues facilitated uptake of calcein-AM into CR1R12 and MDCK-MDR1 cells and are actively transported by Pgp in monolayers of MDCK-MDR1 cells at similarly low concentrations ( approximately 1-20 microM). ADP.V i release kinetics were identical in the presence of the TMR derivatives, VER, or in the absence of drug, suggesting that slow turnover is not likely due to slow release of the ATP hydrolysis products ADP and P i. These data support the partition model in which drug site occupancy converts residual basal ATPase activity to a drug-dependent mechanism even in cases where stimulation appears to be exactly compensatory to basal values. It is noteworthy that when compared to previously reported TMR analogues, subtle modification of the TMR scaffold can confer large differences in ATP turnover.

Abstract
ATP-sensitive K+ channels (K(ATP) channels) are metabolic sensors formed by association of a K+ channel, Kir6, and an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) protein, SUR, which allosterically regulates channel gating in response to nucleotides and pharmaceutical openers and blockers. How nucleotide binding to SUR translates into modulation of Kir6 gating remains largely unknown. To address this issue, we have used a novel conformational KATP channel inhibitor, rhodamine 123 (Rho123) which targets the Kir6 subunit in a SUR-dependent manner. Rho123 blocked SUR-less Kir6.2 channels with an affinity of approximately 1 microM, regardless of the presence of nucleotides, but it had no effect on channels formed by the association of Kir6.2 and the N-terminal transmembrane domain TMD0 of SUR. Rho123 blocked SUR + Kir6.2 channels with the same affinity as Kir6.2 but this effect was antagonized by ATP. Protection from Rho123 block by ATP was due to direct binding of ATP to SUR and did not entail hydrolysis because it was not mimicked by AMP, did not require Mg2+ and was reduced by mutations in the nucleotide-binding domains of SUR. These results suggest that Rho123 binds at the TMD0-Kir6.2 interface and that binding of ATP to SUR triggers a change in the structure of the contact zone between Kir6.2 and domain TMD0 of SUR that causes masking of the Rho123 site on Kir6.2.

Abstract
We report on the capabilities of near-infrared surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) using gold nanoparticles to obtain detailed chemical information with high spatial resolution from within single cancer cells, living or fixed. Colloidal gold particles, 60 nm in size, were introduced into live human osteosarcoma cells by endocytosis by adding them to the growth medium. Rapid SERS mapping of cells indicated that not only could rich vibrational spectra be obtained from intrinsic cellular constituents both in the cytoplasm and nucleus and but also the distribution of extrinsic molecules introduced into the cells, in this case, rhodamine 6G could be characterized, suggesting that the intracellular distribution of chemotherapeutic agents could potentially be measured by this technique. We show that the SERS signal intensity from the cellular components increases and more spectral detail is acquired from dried cells when compared with hydrated cells in buffer. The data also show spectral fluctuations, mainly in intensity but also in peak position, which are dependent upon the intensity of the excitation light and are probably due to diffusion of molecules on the surface of the gold nanoparticles. A detailed understanding of the origins of these effects is still not complete, but the ability to acquire very sensitive SERS inside living cancer cells indicates the potential of this technique as a useful tool in biomedicine.

Abstract
The expression and activity of P-glycoprotein (Pgp) and multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP1) were analyzed in 178 leukemia samples. Rhodamine-123 (Rho-123) and DiOC(2) were used as substrate to evaluate efflux pump activity. Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) exhibited a higher percentage of positivity using Rho-123 than DiOC(2) (p=0.000) as compared to other types of leukemia. Moreover, Rho-123 was able to detected Pgp positive cells in a higher proportion of samples than DiOC(2) samples (p=0.004). Similarly, MRP1 positive cells were best detected by Rho-123 as opposed to DiOC(2) (p=0.003). The co-functionality of Rho-123 and DiOC(2) was observed in 26 out of 105 (24.8%) leukemic samples. Co-expression between Pgp and MRP1 was detected in 30 out of 56 (53.6%) samples. As a whole, when the same samples were analyzed, Rho-123 was able to detect Pgp positive cells in a higher proportion of samples than DiOC(2) (p=0.000). Similarly, MRP1 positive cells were best detected by Rho-123 as opposed to DiOC(2) (p=0.007). Our results support the idea that Rho-123 is the substrate of choice for leukemic cells.

Abstract
Cancer multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major impediment to effective chemotherapy in human cancer, in which P-glycoprotein and Multidrug Resistance-Associated protein figure prominently. Design and exploitation of novel clinical MDR inhibitors is greatly hindered by a lack of understanding of drug efflux dynamics in drug-sensitive and resistant cells. The aim of our study was to provide a microelectrode method for measuring the multidrug transporter mediated efflux of doxorubicin as well as a corresponding data analysis method for quantifying the efflux kinetic parameters. We performed experiments using carbon fiber microelectrode to detect doxorubicin efflux from a monolayer of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells and derived MDR cells (MCF-7/ADR), established a material transport model and proposed a novel inverse method to quantitatively characterize the diffusion dynamics. The kinetic parameters of doxorubicin efflux from MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR cells in the presence or absence of MDR inhibitors were estimated. Our investigations showed the average initial doxorubicin efflux rate of MCF-7/ADR that was 5.2 times faster than of MCF-7. After treatment by tetramethylpyrazine or verapamil, the drug efflux rate of the MCF-7/ADR cells was reduced by about half that of those without inhibitors. The novel methodology presented suggests new and expanded applications for computer-aided reconstruction of the drug efflux process, microelectrode design, and high-throughput drug screening.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the presence of beta-amyloid fibril formation. The inhibition of this peptide accumulation may be a prevention method for Alzheimer's disease. Several classes of molecules have been reported to inhibit beta-amyloid fibril formation and among them carbazoles. However, very few studies have been performed to determine the destination of such molecules in vivo and especially if they can pass the blood brain barrier. The aim of this paper is to study whether carbazoles could pass the blood brain barrier, i.e. if they can circumvent ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) transporters such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and Multidrug Resistance-associated protein (MRP1) which efficiently limit drug brain uptake. For this purpose we have synthesized a fluorescent derivative of carbazole benzothiazolium iodide 1,2 disubstituted ethylene (referred as carbazole thiazole: CT), which can be easily detected and followed in the pre-trial study phases in cells or in tissue. We use cellular models overexpressing P-gp and MRP1. Our results show that: i) CT is able to cross membranes and to penetrate rapidly inside the cells, ii) CT is a P-gp substrate and consequently its accumulation in P-gp overexpressing cells is very low, iii) CT is a poor MRP1 substrate. In addition once inside the cells, CT rapidly binds to DNA and is then slowly reduced by intracellular reducing agents. In conclusion, the efficiency of carbazole derivatives in inhibiting the beta-amyloid formation in vivo could be highly compromised because, as P-gp substrates, they will probably not cross the blood brain barrier.

Abstract
Pentacyclic thio- (1) and seleno- (2) analogues of tetramethylrosamine (TMR) were prepared with a julolidyl fragment replacing the 3-dimethylamino substituent in the xanthylium core. The pentacylic structure increases the lipophilicity of 1 and 2 relative to TMR-S and TMR-Se and locks the lone-pair of electrons on the julolidyl N atom into conjugation with the xanthylium core. This conformational rigidization leads to longer wavelengths of absorption, but has little impact on other photophysical properties such as quantum yields for fluorescence and singlet-oxygen generation and fluorescence lifetimes in 1 and 2 relative to TMR-S and TMR-Se. Both 1 and 2 are effective photosensitizers against chemosensitive AUXB1 cells in vitro at 1x10(-7)M and compound 2 is an effective photosensitizer against multidrug-resistant CR1R12 cells in vitro at 1x10(-7)M. While the uptake TMR-S into CR1R12 cells as measured by fluorescence is significantly lower than uptake into chemosensitive AUXB1 cells, there is no significant difference in the uptake of 1 into either AUXB1 or CR1R12 cells. The addition of 2x10(-4)M verapamil to the cells prior to treatment with 1 had no significant effect on the uptake of 1 into either AUXB1 or CR1R12 cells. Treating lipid-activated, purified Pgp with 2 and light gave complete inhibition of Pgp ATPase activity.

Abstract
We report a method of coupled CE-LIF detection with flow cytometry for high-throughput determination and quantitation of fluorophores in single intact K562/S (KS) cells. The membrane properties of KS cell including fluophore transport rate and apparent permeability coefficient were further quantitatively characterized. The method has advantages for accurate quantitation and unique capacity of high-throughput analysis. The strategy will be useful for the quantitation of fluorophores in the intact cells, such as measurement of multidrug resistance, quantitation of specific protein expression, and quantitative characterization of protein and enzyme functions.

Abstract
The multidrug resistance efflux pump P-glycoprotein (Pgp) couples drug export to ATP binding and hydrolysis. Details regarding drug trajectory, as well as the molecular basis for coupling, remain unknown. Nearly all drugs exported by Pgp have been assayed for competitive behavior with rhodamine123 transport at a canonical "R" drug binding site. Tetramethylrosamine (TMR) displays a relatively high affinity for Pgp when compared to other rhodamines. Here, we present the construction and characterization of a library of compounds based upon the TMR scaffold and use this set to assess the determinants of drug binding to the "R" site of Pgp. This set contained modifications in (1) the number, location, and conformational mobility of hydrogen-bond acceptors; (2) the heteroatom in the xanthylium core; and (3) the size of the substituent in the 9-position of the xanthylium core. Relative specificity for coupling to the distal ATP catalytic site was assessed by ATPase stimulation. We found marked ( approximately 1000-fold) variation in the ATPase specificity constant within the library of TMR analogues. Using established methods involving ADP-Vi trapping by wild-type Pgp and ATP binding by catalytic carboxylate mutant Pgp, these effects can be extended to ATP hydrolysis transition-state stabilization and ATP occlusion at a single site. These data support the idea that drugs trigger the engagement of ATP catalytic site residues necessary for hydrolysis. Further, the nature of the drug binding site and coupling mechanism may be dissected by variation of a drug-like scaffold. These studies may facilitate development of novel competitive inhibitors at the "R" drug site.

Abstract
The MDR1 P-glycoprotein (P-gp) actively extrudes a wide variety of structurally diverse cytotoxic compounds out of the cell, is widely expressed in the epithelial cells of kidney, liver and intestine, and in the endothelial cells of brain and placenta, and plays an important role in drug resistance. We measured the accumulation of Rhodamine 123 (Rho123), a substrate of P-gp, into a drug sensitive and a drug resistant strain of the human leukemia cell line K562, as function of Rho123 concentration. With the aid of a mathematical transformation, we used the accumulation of Rho123 into the sensitive cells as a surrogate measure for the internal concentration of the probe in the resistant cells, and were thus able to measure the kinetic parameters of drug efflux pumping by P-gp. Drug pumping was half-saturated at an external Rho123 concentration of 7.2E-06+/-1.1E-06 M, and displayed a co-operative behaviour with a Hill number of 1.94+/-0.32. Verapamil could be shown to inhibit Rho123 efflux uncompetitively.

Abstract
cis-Diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (CDDP) is an important chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of a wide variety of solid tumors. We have recently shown that aquated forms of cisplatin (aqua-Pt) rapidly accumulate in K562 and GLC4 cultured cells, in comparison to CDDP. Thus, when cells are incubated with aquated forms of cisplatin a gradient of concentration is observed after a short time, approximately 40 min, with an intracellular concentration of aqua-Pt of 20-30 times higher than that of extracellular aqua-Pt. The same gradient of concentration is observed when cells are incubated with CDDP but it takes a longer time, i.e., about 24 h. Therefore, the question arises as to the identity of the intracellular sites of accumulation of aqua-Pt. Using several agents to modulate membrane potential, acidic compartment pH and/or ATP level, we obtained evidence that aqua-Pt may accumulate rapidly inside mitochondria as this accumulation is energy- and membrane-potential-dependent. However, aqua-Pt complexes are not characterized by a delocalized charge and a lipophilic character that would permit their movement through the inner membrane. Therefore, it is suggested that intracellular aqua-Pt reacts rapidly with glutathione with the resultant complex being transported inside the mitochondria via one of the known glutathione transporters, i.e., dicarboxylate and/or 2-oxoglutarate transporters present in the inner membrane.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the presence of amyloid deposition. Thioflavin T (ThT) has been one of the molecules of choice to attempt the detection of these amyloid deposits. However, it has been reported that ThT was unable to cross blood-brain barrier (BBB). Our aim was to understand the mechanism according to which it has been said that ThT is not able to cross the BBB. For this purpose we have used cellular models overexpressing P-glycoprotein (P-gp) or multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP1), two proteins overexpressed in BBB. Our results show that: (i) ThT is able to cross membranes and to penetrate inside the cells; (ii) ThT is a P-gp substrate; (iii) ThT is poor MRP1 substrate. In conclusion, our results suggest that two factors could be involved in the low accumulation of ThT in the brain: ThT is a P-gp substrate and its lipophilicity is low.

Abstract
It is now well recognized that membrane efflux transporters, especially P-glycoprotein (P-gp; ABCB1), play a role in determining the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicology behaviors of some drugs and molecules in development. An investment in screening structure-activity relationship (SAR) is warranted in early discovery when exposure and/or target activity in an in vivo efficacy model is not achieved and P-gp efflux is identified as a rate-limiting factor. However, the amount of investment in SAR must be placed into perspective by assessing the risks associated with the intended therapeutic target, the potency and margin of safety of the compound, the intended patient population(s), and the market competition. The task of rationally designing a chemistry strategy for circumventing a limiting P-gp interaction can be daunting. The necessity of retaining biological potency and metabolic stability places restrictions on what can be done, and the factors for P-gp recognition of substrates are complicated and poorly understood. The parameters within the assays that affect overall pump efficiency or net efflux, such as passive diffusion, membrane partitioning, and molecular interaction between pump and substrate, should be understood when interpreting data sets associated with chemistry around a scaffold. No single, functional group alone is often the cause, but one group can accentuate the recognition points existing within a scaffold. This can be likened to a rheostat, rather than an on/off switch, where addition or removal of a key group can increase or decrease the pumping efficiency. The most practical approach to de-emphasize the limiting effects of P-gp on a particular scaffold is to increase passive diffusion. Efflux pumping efficiency may be overcome when passive diffusion is fast enough. Eliminating, or substituting with fewer, groups that solvate in water, or decreasing their hydrogen bonding capacity, and adding halogen groups can increase passive diffusion. Reducing molecular size, replacing electronegative atoms, blocking or masking H-bond donors with N-alkylation or bulky flanking groups, introducing constrained conformation, or by promoting intramolecular hydrogen bonds are all examples of steps to take. This review discusses our understanding of how P-gp recognizes and pumps compounds as substrates and describes cases where structural changes were made in a chemical scaffold to circumvent the effects of P-gp interactions.

Abstract
The P-glycoprotein efflux pump, an ABC superfamily member, can export a wide variety of hydrophobic drugs, natural products, and peptides from cells, powered by the energy of ATP hydrolysis. Transport substrates appear to first partition into the membrane and then interact with the protein within the cytoplasmic leaflet. Two drug binding sites within P-glycoprotein have been described which interact allosterically, the H-site (binds Hoechst 33342) and the R-site (binds rhodamine 123); however, the structural and functional relationship between the various binding sites appears complex. In this work, we have used fluorescence spectroscopic approaches to characterize the interaction of the transporter with LDS-751 and rhodamine 123, both of which are believed to bind to the putative R-site based on functional transport studies. By carrying out single and sequential dual fluorescence titrations of purified P-glycoprotein with the two substrates, we observed that bound LDS-751 interacted with bound rhodamine 123. Rhodamine 123 and LDS-751 showed a reciprocal negative interaction, each reducing the binding affinity of the other by 5-fold, indicating that the two compounds were simultaneously bound to the protein to form a ternary complex. Fitting of the dependence of the apparent Kd for LDS-751 binding on rhodamine 123 concentration suggested that the two compounds interacted noncompetitively. We conclude that the two-site drug binding model for P-glycoprotein requires modification. The putative R-site appears large enough to accommodate two compounds simultaneously. The locations where LDS-751 and rhodamine 123 bind are likely adjacent to each other, possibly overlapping, and may be within a hydrophobic pocket.

Abstract
Several thio and seleno analogues of tetramethylrosamine (TMR) were prepared. Thio derivatives of TMR have absorption maxima near 570 nm, while seleno derivatives of TMR have absorption maxima near 580 nm. The 3- or 4-N,N-dimethylaminophenyl substituent in the 9-position greatly increases internal conversion, which lowers quantum yields for fluorescence and the generation of singlet oxygen. Thio and seleno analogues of TMR are effective photosensitizers against chemosensitive AUXB1 cells in vitro and against multidrug-resistant CR1R12 cells in vitro, which have been treated with verapamil. The CR1R12 cells accumulated significantly lower concentrations of the photosensitizers relative to the AUXB1 cells presumably due to the expression of P-glycoprotein (Pgp) in the CR1R12 cells. Following treatment with 5 x 10(-5) M verapamil, the uptake in CR1R12 cells of several fluorescent thio analogues of TMR is comparable to that observed for the chemosensitive AUXB1 cells.

Abstract
This paper is aimed to show the possibility to determine individual organic compounds introduced into single living cells with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Surface enhancement was achieved with gold colloids that were allowed to diffuse into lymphocytes. An introduced analyte, rhodamine 6G, could be imaged together with for example nucleotides and amino acids of the cell. Multivariate evaluation of surface-enhanced Raman images proved to be a powerful tool for the separation of spectral information of various intracellular components. The principal component analysis (PCA) enabled identification of spectra containing different chemical information and separation of the spectral contribution of rhodamine 6G from the complex cellular matrix.

Abstract
Tetramethylrosamine and its thio- and seleno- analogues (TMR-O, TMR-S, and TMR-Se, respectively) were examined for their ability to be transported by Pgp into chemo-resistant CR1R12 cells. Verapamil (7 x 10(-6)M) enhanced the uptake of TMR-O and TMR-S into CR1R12 cells compared to those cultures not previously exposed to verapamil. The uptake of TMR-O and TMR-S in CR1R12 cells in the presence of 7 x 10(-6)M verapamil was equivalent to its uptake in the chemo-sensitive parent cell line AUXB1 in the absence or presence of verapamil. None of the TMR analogues were effective alone as photosensitizers of CR1R12 cells. However, when either TMR-S or TMR-Se was added to CR1R12 cells after 7 x 10(-6)M verapamil exposure for 2h, irradiation of cultures with 5.0J cm(-2) of 350-750 nm light caused significant phototoxicity. TMR-O showed no significant phototoxicity in the presence of verapamil. Chemo-sensitive AUXB1 cells are equally susceptible to phototoxicity using TMR-Se with or without previous exposure to verapamil. The Pgp modulators verapamil and CsA increased the uptake of CAM into CR1R12. Exposure of CR1R12 cells to TMR-S or TMR-Se for 2h in the dark resulted in no significant change in the intracellular accumulation of CAM. However, 1h of light exposure after incubation of cells with TMR-S or TMR-Se resulted in an up to 2-fold increase in CAM uptake.

Abstract
In pharmaceutical development, structure-activity relationship studies aim to identify characteristics of chemical structures associated with well-defined activity end points. While this goal-driven approach is ideally suited for lead development purposes, a more exploration-driven approach is needed to discover cell type-selective drug targeting mechanisms in complex data sets. Growth inhibition profiles across different cancer cell lines are potentially informative with respect to molecular mechanisms targeting the activity of anticancer agents to specific tumor cells, yet only a small number of mechanistic associations between chemical structure and growth inhibition profiles have been discovered to date. Here, we have applied an exhaustive statistical analysis strategy to more than 10000 compounds in the NCI's anticancer agent database to identify molecular substructures associated with specific cytotoxicity signatures against a panel of human tumor-derived cancer cell lines (the Developmental Therapeutics Program 60-cell line panel). Some of the most significant substructures conferring cell type-selective cytotoxic activity include a large family of delocalized lipophilic cations; chloropurines, chloropyrimidines, and thiazoles; organosulfur chelators and organometallic complexes; and an unexpectedly related family of alkyl-lysophospholipids and phosphate prodrugs. Information from cell-based assays and gene expression measurements have been related to substructures represented in the chemical space covered by the library, yielding several candidate targeting mechanisms.

Abstract
P-Glycoprotein (P-gp) is an ATP-dependent drug efflux transporter involved in multidrug resistance and drug disposition in many organ systems. A majority of P-gp substrates are lipophilic amine drugs which also exhibit rapid extensive accumulation in lung tissue. P-gp is expressed in lung tissue, and the very nature of this drug efflux mechanism suggests a moderating role in pulmonary drug disposition. Little is known about P-gp-mediated efflux out of lung tissue or its kinetic characteristics as they may relate to the impact of P-gp on pulmonary drug accumulation. The present study develops an experimental and kinetic model to characterize the kinetics of P-gp-mediated efflux of rhodamine 6G dye (R6G) out of the intact rabbit lung. The perfusate concentration of R6G with time during recirculation through an isolated perfused rabbit lung was measured, and 66.6 +/- 2.6% (S.E.) of the perfusate R6G was taken up by the lung. In the presence of P-gp inhibitors, R6G uptake increased significantly to 87.5 +/- 1.1% (P < 0.002), indicating a functional pulmonary P-gp efflux transporter. Fractional lung accumulation of R6G increased with increasing R6G perfusate concentration, a result consistent with saturation of an efflux transporter. A parsimonious three-compartment kinetic model of R6G pulmonary disposition was used to interpret data sets from experiments with different perfusion variables and to estimate parameters descriptive of the dominant kinetic processes involved in R6G pulmonary accumulation. The estimated value of the kinetic parameter, k(pgp), rate constant for P-gp-mediated R6G efflux, indicates that this transporter plays a significant role in moderating R6G pulmonary disposition.

Abstract
Characterization of rhodamine 123 as functional assay for MDR has been primarily focused on P-glycoprotein-mediated MDR. Several studies have suggested that Rh123 is also a substrate for MRP1. However, no quantitative studies of the MRP1-mediated efflux of rhodamines have, up to now, been performed. Measurement of the kinetic characteristics of substrate transport is a powerful approach to enhancing our understanding of their function and mechanism. In the present study, we have used a continuous fluorescence assay with four rhodamine dyes (rhodamine 6G, tetramethylrosamine, tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester, and tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester) to quantify drug transport by MRP1 in living GLC4/ADR cells. The formation of a substrate concentration gradient was observed. MRP1-mediated transport of rhodamine was glutathione-dependent. The kinetics parameter, k(a) = V(M)/k(m), was very similar for the four rhodamine analogs but approximately 10-fold less than the values of the same parameter determined previously for the MRP1-mediated efflux of anthracycline. The findings presented here are the first to show quantitative information about the kinetics parameters for MRP1-mediated efflux of rhodamine dyes.
