Cancer multidrug resistance (MDR) is a common cause of treatment failure in cancer patients. Increased expression of permeability glycoprotein (P-gp), which is also known as MDR-1, is the main cause of multidrug resistance. Podophyllotoxin derivatives hold great promise in the battle to overcome multidrug resistance, as they can induce cytotoxicity through multiple mechanisms. Here, we synthesized sixteen novel podophyllotoxin derivatives and evaluated their cytotoxicities in human cancer cell lines, HeLa, K562 and K562/A02. Some of these compounds were more potent than etoposide, a clinically relevant inhibitor of DNA repair enzymes. In particular, compound 5p exhibited the most potent activity toward drug-resistant K562/A02 cells, as it robustly inhibited tumor cell proliferation and induced apoptosis. Furthermore, preliminary investigation suggested that 5p inhibited the expression of MDR-1 in K562/A02 cells more effectively than etoposide.

D011034 Podophyllotoxin A lignan (LIGNANS) found in PODOPHYLLIN resin from the roots of PODOPHYLLUM plants. It is a potent spindle poison, toxic if taken internally, and has been used as a cathartic. It is very irritating to skin and mucous membranes, has keratolytic actions, has been used to treat warts and keratoses, and may have antineoplastic properties, as do some of its congeners and derivatives.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
