Specific inhibitors of the breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP).
A new class of specific breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) inhibitors was identified, showing no inhibition of the ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters P-gp and MRP1. Some of these modulators inhibit BCRP with high potency; they are only slightly less potent than Ko143 and could serve as promising lead structures for the design of novel effective BCRP inhibitors. These inhibitors are structurally related to tariquidar (XR9576) and belong to a library of multidrug-resistance modulators synthesized by our research group. The absence of the tetrahydroisoquinoline substructure appears to play a crucial role for specificity; we found that the presence of this substructure is not essential for interaction with BCRP. To determine the type of interaction between pheophorbide A and compounds with and without the tetrahydroisoquinoline substructure, various substrate pheophorbide A concentrations were used in enzyme kinetics assays. The resulting data show that these compounds share a noncompetitive-type interaction with pheophorbide A. Experiments with imatinib and pheophorbide A revealed a mixed-type interaction. The combination of imatinib and compounds with and without the tetrahydroisoquinoline substructure resulted in a positive cooperative effect, indicating that imatinib engages a binding site distinct from that of the new compounds on one side and distinct from that of pheophorbide A on the other side as well. The results of this study suggest that the category of BCRP-specific inhibitors, which includes only fumitremorgin C, Ko143 and analogues, and novobiocin needs to be extended by this new class of inhibitors, which possess three key characteristics: specificity, potency, and low toxicity.

Structure-activity relationships of new inhibitors of breast cancer resistance protein (ABCG2).
At the end of the last century tariquidar (XR9576) was synthesized, pharmacologically investigated, and classified as a promising 3rd generation P-glycoprotein (P-gp) modulator. Following the discovery of BCRP in 1998 an increasing number of substances were studied in relation to their potency to interact with this transporter. Recently it has been shown that XR9576 inhibits both P-gp and BCRP transport function similarly to GF120918 (elacridar). This observation prompted us to investigate 5 XR compounds and 25 structurally related derivatives synthesized in our laboratory for their BCRP inhibitory effect. The biological activity data were determined by our new Hoechst 33342 assay that has been transferred from P-gp to BCRP overexpressing cells. 3D-QSAR models (CoMFA and CoMSIA) were generated and validated by the leave-many-out method and the scrambling stability test. The best models yielded an internal predictive squared correlation coefficient higher than 0.8 and contained steric, electrostatic, hydrophobic, and hydrogen bond donor fields. To our knowledge, this is the first 3D-QSAR analysis of BCRP inhibitors. Additionally the biological activity data determined in P-gp overexpressing cells on one side and BCRP overexpressing cells on the other side were compared to identify selective and non-selective inhibitors of P-gp and BCRP. The results may help to get a better insight which structural elements are necessary to direct the interaction of these compounds with P-gp and/or BCRP.
