Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) is one of the major transporters involved in the efflux of anticancer compounds, contributing to multidrug resistance (MDR). Inhibition of ABCG2-mediated transport is then considered a promising strategy for overcoming MDR in tumors. We recently
The search for small molecules that preferentially target the functionally important surfaces of estrogen receptor and disrupt the transcriptional activity in the cell has emerged as a promising area towards rationale based drug design. Herein, we report substituted styryl chromones as a new class
The Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP/ABCG2) belongs to the G class of ABC (ATP-Binding Cassette) proteins, which is known as one of the main transporters involved in the multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype that confer resistance to anticancer drugs. The aim of this study was to design,
This study deals with synthesis of a new set of benzofuran and 5H-furo[3,2-g]chromone linked various heterocyclic functionalities using concise synthetic approaches aiming to gain new antiproliferative candidates against MCF-7 breast cancer cells of p38α MAP kinase inhibiting activity. The
We recently identified a chromone derivative, 5-(4-bromobenzyloxy)-2-(2-(5-methoxyindolyl)ethyl-1-carbonyl)-4H-chromen-4-one, named here as chromone 1, as a potent, selective, nontoxic, and nontransported inhibitor of ABCG2-mediated drug efflux (Valdameri et al. J. Med. Chem. 2012, 55, 966). We have
Potent ABCG2 inhibitors were recently identified as asymmetric chromones with different types of substituents. We here synthesized symmetric bis-chalcones that were differently substituted and screened for their ability to inhibit mitoxantrone efflux from ABCG2-transfected HEK293 cells. Potent
A series of 13 disubstituted chromones was synthesized. Two types of substituents, on each side of the scaffold, contributed to both the potency of ABCG2 inhibition and the cytotoxicity. The best compound, 5-(4-bromobenzyloxy)-2-(2-(5-methoxyindolyl)ethyl-1-carbonyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (6g), displayed
A series of compounds derived from naturally occurring flavonoids and synthetic analogs have been evaluated on cell lines overexpressing the wild-type breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) half-transporter. Human ABCG2-transfected cells were used for screening their inhibitory activity. Five
A series of chromone derivatives were designed as potential topoisomerase I (Top I) inhibitors based on the docking simulation study. Sixteen synthesized compounds were evaluated for Top I inhibitory activity and some compounds were further tested for in vitro cytotoxic activity. The most potent
Aromatase (P450arom) is a target of pharmacological interest for the treatment of breast cancer. In this paper, we report the design, synthesis, and in vitro biological evaluation of a series of new (di)benzopyranone-based inhibitors of this enzyme. The design of the new compounds was guided by a
The breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP, ABCG2) is among the latest discovered ABC proteins to be involved in MDR phenotype and for which only few inhibitors are known. In continuing our program aimed at discovering efficient multidrug resistance modulators, we conceived and synthesized new
We have investigated the effect of 13 flavonoid derivatives on [(14)C]paclitaxel transport in two human breast cancer cell lines, the adriamycin-resistant NCI/ADR-RES and sensitive MDA-MB-435. For this study, we selected representatives of aurones, chalcones, flavones, flavonols, chromones, and
Four new chromone derivatives, phomopsichins A-D (1-4), along with a known compound, phomoxanthone A (5), were isolated from the fermentation products of mangrove endophytic fungus Phomopsis sp. 33#. Their structures were elucidated based on comprehensive spectroscopic analysis coupled with
Nine new chromone analogs (1-9) were isolated from the soil actinomycete Microbispora sp. TBRC6027. The chemical structures were determined based upon NMR spectroscopic methods. These compounds were evaluated in vitro by using P19-derived neurons for neuroprotective
Based on the reported high expression of p38α MAP kinase in invasive breast cancers and the activity of different functionalized chromone derivatives as p38α inhibitors, a new set of 4,9-dimethoxy/4-methoxy-7-methyl-5-oxo-5H-furo[3,2-g]chromone derivatives were efficiently synthesized aiming to
