Reversal of Multidrug Resistance by New Dihydropyridines with Low Calcium Antagonist Activity

Abstract: The clinical use of Ca++ antagonist agents as modulators of multidrug resistance is limited by their strong vasodilator activity. This study reports data obtained by testing a series of new 1,4 dihydropyridine derivatives (DHPs) for their in vitro resistance modulating activity and their Ca++ antagonist effect. All the tested DHPs are active to increase doxorubicin activity with dose modifying factor values ranging between 2 and 47 on P388/DX cells and 12 and 36 on LoVo/DX cells. Their resistance modulating ac… Show more

“…MDR often develops in cancer cells to different chemotherapeutic drugs and is essential factor in the failure of various chemotherapies [25], including those based on DOXO. In the last two decades some 1,4-DHPs and structurally related compounds were discovered and approved as effective reversers of resistance to doxorubicin, daunomycin, vinblastine, and vincristine, as other anticancer drugs [25, 38, 39]. The presence of a hetaryl group at position 4of DHP is claimed as effectively increasing MDR-inhibiting activity [25].…”
