Zosuquidar is a novel and potent P-glycoprotein (P-gp; Ki=59nM) inhibitor and multidrug resistance (MDR) modulator. Zosuquidar can be used in research related to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and multidrug-resistant tumors[1-4].
In vitro, Zosuquidar (10.0μM) was co-incubated with 1-(hydroxymethyl)-3,4-dimethoxy-9H-xanthen-9-one (OX6; 20.0μM) in everted intestinal sacs for 5–45 minutes. Zosuquidar blocked the OX6-induced increase in Rhodamine 123 efflux[5]. Zosuquidar (0.3μM) was co-treated with chemotherapeutic agents in P-gp-expressing leukemia cell lines (K562/HHT40, K562/HHT90, K562/DOX, HL60/DNR) and primary AML blasts for 48 hours. Zosuquidar significantly enhanced the cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutic agents and restored cellular drug sensitivity[6].
In vivo, Zosuquidar (90mg/kg; once daily) was administered orally to BALB/c nude mice bearing NCI-H292 cells for 10 days. Zosuquidar significantly reduced PD-L1 expression in tumors[7]. Zosuquidar (5mg/kg or 25mg/kg; three times a week) was combined with Birinapant (3mg/kg or 10mg/kg; administered 5 hours after the third Zosuquidar injection; once weekly) via intraperitoneal injection in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected C57BL/6 mice for three consecutive weeks. Zosuquidar enhanced Birinapant-mediated death of HBV-positive hepatocytes and improved the kinetics of HBV-DNA and HBsAg control[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | human myeloid leukemia cell lines (K562, HL60 and their variant resistant cell lines: K562/HHT40, K562/HHT90, K562/DOX, K562/BCRP, HL60/DNR, HL60/ADR) and primary AML blasts from patients |
Preparation Method | Cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, penicillin, and streptomycin at 37°C, 5% CO₂. Cells were treated with escalating concentrations of chemotherapeutic agents (daunorubicin, idarubicin, mitoxantrone, semi-synthetic HHT, or gemtuzumab ozogamicin) in the presence or absence of Zosuquidar for 48 hours. Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay. |
Reaction Conditions | 0.3μM; 48 hours |
Applications | Zosuquidar completely or partially restored drug sensitivity in all P-gp-expressing leukemia cell lines tested and enhanced the cytotoxicity of anthracyclines (daunorubicin, idarubicin, mitoxantrone) and gemtuzumab ozogamicin in primary AML blasts with active P-gp. In addition, P-gp inhibition by Zosuquidar was found to be more potent than cyclosporine A in cells with highly active P-gp. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Immunocompetent male C57BL/6 mice with HBV infection induced by hydrodynamic injection (HDI) of an HBV-encoding plasmid |
Preparation Method | Zosuquidar was prepared in 2% D-mannitol, 0.015% glycine in sterile H₂O and diluted in saline solution, phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Five days following induction of infection, mice were pre-treated by intraperitoneal (IP) injection with Zosuquidar (5mg/kg or 25mg/kg) for three days. Five hours following the last dose of Zosuquidar, birinapant (3mg/kg) was delivered by IP injection. For serial serum HBV-DNA analysis, mice were IP injected with Zosuquidar three times a week (5mg/kg or 25mg/kg) and birinapant once a week (10mg/kg) for three weeks. |
Dosage form | 5mg/kg or 25mg/kg; i.p.; three times a week for three weeks. |
Applications | The combination of birinapant and Zosuquidar was well tolerated in both HBV-replicating and healthy uninfected animals. In HBV-replicating animals, the addition of Zosuquidar to birinapant treatment increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in a dose-dependent fashion, indicating enhanced hepatocyte death. This combination treatment specifically killed hepatitis B virus core protein (HBcAg)-positive HBV-replicating liver cells. Furthermore, combined treatment of birinapant and Zosuquidar significantly reduced the time taken for animals to diminish HBV virus compared to birinapant single-agent treatment and resulted in a greater reduction in serum HBV surface antigen (HBsAg). |
