Description

PU 23 is a kind of multidrug resistance protein 4 (MRP4) inhibitor[1]. MRP4 is an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, and MRP4 inhibition shows striking effects against cancer progression and drug resistance[2]. PU 23 shows high activity in improving cell sensibility to anticancer drug 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP)[1].

PU 23 (10μM; 72h) significantly inhibited the cell viability of HEK293/MRP4 cells with 6-MP. PU 23 (50μM; 2h) significantly increased the amount of 6-MP in HEK293/MRP4 cells[1].

Protocol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

HEK293/MRP4 cells

Preparation Method

Stable HEK293/MRP4 cells were seeded at 5×103 cells per well into duplicate 96-well plates. The following day, PU 23 was added to a single well and then 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) was added to one plate to give a final concentration of 15μM. After 72h incubation, cell viability was assessed using sulforhodamine B.

Reaction Conditions

10μM; 72h

Applications

PU 23 showed high activity with an inhibition rate of 81.71% with 6-MP and only 15.26% without 6-MP, while the inhibition of 6-MP was only 23.48%. PU 23 reduced resistance to anticancer agent 6-MP.
