Abstract
A series of benzo[b]-1,8-naphthyridine derivatives branched with various side-chains and substituents were prepared with the aim of being investigated as multidrug resistance (MDR) modulators. The syntheses were achieved from 2-halonicotinic acid and suitable aryl-amines according to a three-step procedure. All the derivatives were tested in vitro on mouse T-Lymphoma cell line L5178 transfected by MDR1 gene and the chemosensitizing properties of the compounds were compared to those of verapamil and propranolol, as well as to several other tricyclic derivatives like phenothiazines and acridines. Most of the compounds tested reversed the MDR of tumour cells more effectively than the reference drugs did and they showed more potent chemosensitizing activity than phenothiazine and acridine derivatives have.
Benzo[b]-1,8-naphthyridine derivatives show potential as effective multidrug resistance modulators, with more potent chemosensitizing activity than phenothiazine and acridine derivatives.
