Activity of fourteen new hydantoin compounds on the human ABCB1 efflux pump.

  • Authors: Amaral L, Armada A, Dymek A, Handzlik J, Kiec-Kononowicz K, Martins A, Molnar J, Spengler G
  • Journal: In vivo
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Activity+of+Fourteen+New+Hydantoin+Compounds+on+the+Human+ABCB1+Efflux+Pump

BACKGROUND:
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is one of the major concerns in the treatment of cancer and one of the major causes of therapy failure. The overexpression of an ABC transporter, the ABCB1, is often associated with MDR in cancer. Previously it was observed that hydantoin compounds can modulate the activity of the ABCB1 pump.

The activity of 16 new hydantoin compounds on the intrinsic and overexpressed efflux pump system of Staphylococcus aureus.

AIM:
To evaluate a new series of 16 hydantoin derivatives for activity against the intrinsic and overexpressed efflux pumps of the ATTC 25923 Staphylococcus aureus and the clinical Staphylococcus aureus HPV-107 strain, respectively.

Biological activity of twenty-three hydantoin derivatives on intrinsic efflux pump system of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis NCTC 13349.

  • Authors: Amaral L, Evaristo M, Handzlik J, Kiec-Kononowicz K, Machado L, Molnar J, Spengler G, Viveiros M

BACKGROUND:
Hydantoin derivatives have important biochemical and pharmacological properties. In the present study, 23 hydantoin compounds were evaluated for their efflux-modulating effects in Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis NCTC 13349 using real-time fluorimetry based on the intracellular accumulation of ethidium bromide (EB), a universal substrate of efflux pumps.

Modulation of multidrug efflux pump activity by new hydantoin derivatives on colon adenocarcinoma cells without inducing apoptosis.

  • Authors: Amaral L, Handzlik J, Kiec-Kononowicz K, Molnar J, Ocsovszki I, Spengler G, Viveiros M
  • Journal: Anticancer Research
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Modulation+of+multidrug+efflux+pump+activity+by+new+hydantoin+derivatives+on+colon+adenocarcinoma+cells+without+inducing+apoptosis

BACKGROUND:
Hydantoin derivatives are very promising candidates to improve the efficacy of anticancer chemotherapy. Previously, we demonstrated that eight hydantoin derivatives inhibited the P-glycoprotein (ABCB1) efflux pump of mouse T-lymphoma cells, as well as acting synergistically with the anticancer drug doxorubicin.

Inhibitors of bacterial efflux pumps that also inhibit efflux pumps of cancer cells.

  • Authors: Amaral L, Armada A, Handzlik J, Kiec-Kononowicz K, Martins A, Molnar J, Spengler G
  • Journal: Anticancer Research
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22753759

Bacteria and cancer cells frequently increase their resistance to chemotherapeutics as a consequence of therapy. Whenever studied, refractory response to chemotherapy is due to the over-expression of efflux pumps that render the bacterium or cancer cell resistant not only to the agent used for therapy, but to many, if not all other agents as well.
