WK-X-34 is a low-toxicity, highly effective multidrug resistance reversal agent. By potently inhibiting the transport functions of P-glycoprotein (P-gp, ABCB1) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), WK-X-34 significantly increases the intracellular accumulation of anticancer drugs and radiotracers in drug-resistant cells. WK-X-34 exerts no significant effect on MRP transporters. WK-X-34 not only restores the chemosensitivity of multidrug-resistant ovarian cancer cells, but also significantly enhances the uptake of 99mTc-Sestamibi in P-gp-positive xenograft tumors, brain and intestinal tissues. WK-X-34 exhibits extremely low toxicity and favorable safety profiles both in vitro and in mice (at doses up to 50 mg/kg), and can be used for research on overcoming multidrug resistance in ovarian cancer.

Description

WK-X-34 is a low-toxicity, highly effective multidrug resistance reversal agent. By potently inhibiting the transport functions of P-glycoprotein (P-gp, ABCB1) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), WK-X-34 significantly increases the intracellular accumulation of anticancer drugs and radiotracers in drug-resistant cells. WK-X-34 exerts no significant effect on MRP transporters. WK-X-34 not only restores the chemosensitivity of multidrug-resistant ovarian cancer cells, but also significantly enhances the uptake of 99mTc-Sestamibi in P-gp-positive xenograft tumors, brain and intestinal tissues. WK-X-34 exhibits extremely low toxicity and favorable safety profiles both in vitro and in mice (at doses up to 50 mg/kg), and can be used for research on overcoming multidrug resistance in ovarian cancer[1].

In Vitro

WK-X-34 (10 nM-100 μM; 15 min pre-incubation, 180 min total with daunorubicin) potently inhibits Pgp-mediated efflux in A2780/Adr cells with an IC50 of 82.1 ± 6 nM, and the inhibitory effect persists for 24 hours after removal of the compound[1].
WK-X-34 (10 μM; 1 hr pre-incubation, 0-60 min 99ᵐTc-Sestamibi incubation) completely inhibits Pgp-mediated efflux of 99ᵐTc-Sestamibi in A2780/Adr cells at 10 μM, with an IC50 of 417 ± 189.7 nM, restoring tracer accumulation to levels seen in Pgp-negative A2780/wt cells[1].
WK-X-34 (1-1000 μM; 90 min after mitoxantrone preloading) inhibits BCRP-mediated mitoxantrone efflux in MCF7/mx cells with an IC50 of 26.5 ± 4.6 μM, without altering mitoxantrone handling in BCRP-negative MCF7 cells[1].
WK-X-34 (10 nM-10 mM; 72 hr) has low in vitro cytotoxicity in A2780/Adr and A2780/wt cells, with LD50 values well above its Pgp inhibitory IC50 concentrations[1].

Cell Proliferation Assay[1]

Cell Line: P-gp-overexpressing human ovarian cancer A2780/Adr cells,
P-gp-negative human ovarian cancer A2780/wt cells
Concentration: 10 nM, 100 nM, 1 μM, 10 μM, 100 μM, 1 mM, 10 mM
Incubation Time: 72 hr
Result: Showed low cytotoxicity in both cell lines, with LD50 values of 152 ± 281 μM in A2780/Adr cells and 112 ± 112 μM in A2780/wt cells.
In Vivo

WK-X-34 (20 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) potently inhibits in vivo Pgp activity, increasing 99mTc-Sestamidium accumulation by 136% in Pgp-overexpressing ovarian cancer xenografts and enhancing radiotracer uptake in Pgp-expressing normal tissues including brain and intestine[1].
WK-X-34 (20-50 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 14 days) is well tolerated in healthy male CD-1 mice, with no observable toxicity or hepatotoxicity[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
