Ontogen Corporation, Carlsbad, California 92009 [M. J. N., J. C. R., K. D. B., S. J. R., C. Z., S. K., E. J. M., R. T. U., R. D.], and British Columbia Cancer Agency, Vancouver, British Columbia, V5Z 4E6 Canada [E. S. G., L. D. M.]
OC144-093 is a novel substituted diarylimidazole (Mr 495) generated using the OntoBLOCK system, a solid-phase combinatorial chemistry technology, in combination with high-throughput cell-based screening. OC144-093 reversed multidrug resistance (MDR) to doxorubicin, paclitaxel, and vinblastine in human lymphoma, breast, ovarian, uterine, and colorectal carcinoma cell lines expressing P-glycoprotein (P-gp) with an average EC50 of 0.032 µM. Inhibition of MDR by OC144-093 was reversible, but the effect persisted for at least 12 h after removal of compound from the culture medium. OC144-093 had no effect on the response to cytotoxic agents by cells in vitro lacking P-gp expression or expressing a multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP-1). OC144-093 was not cytotoxic by itself against 15 normal, nontransformed, or tumor cell lines, regardless of P-gp status, with an average cytostatic IC50 of >60 µM. OC144-093 blocked the binding of [3H]azidopine to P-gp and inhibited P-gp ATPase activity. The compound was >50% p.o. bioavailable in rodents and dogs and did not alter the plasma pharmacokinetics of i.v.-administered paclitaxel. OC144-093 increased the life span of doxorubicin-treated mice engrafted with MDR P388 leukemia cells by >100% and significantly enhanced the in vivo antitumor activity of paclitaxel in MDR human breast and colon carcinoma xenograft models, without a significant increase in doxorubicin or paclitaxel toxicity. The results demonstrate that OC144-093 is an orally active, potent, and nontoxic inhibitor of P-gp-mediated multidrug resistance that exhibits all of the desired properties for treatment of P-gp-mediated MDR, as well as for prevention of MDR prior to selection and/or induction of refractory disease.
