Abstract: Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major cause of failure in cancer treatment, in which the overexpression of P-glycoprotein (Pgp) plays a crucial role. Herein, a novel class of ocotillol-type amide derivatives has been designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their ability to reverse MDR. The structure-activity relationship of the reversal activity was analyzed. Ten compounds showed promising chemo-reversal ability, among which the 24R-ocotillol-type amide derivative 6c with an N-Boc-hexanoyl unit exhibited the most potency in reversing paclitaxel resistance in KBV cells. Compound 6c could inhibit Pgp-mediated rhodamine123 efflux function via stimulating Pgp-ATPase activity and exhibited high binding affinity with Pgp in molecular docking studies. Importantly, compound 6c enhanced the efficacy of paclitaxel against KBV cancer cell-derived xenograft tumors in nude mice after oral administration. These results indicate that ocotillol-type amide derivatives are promising lead compounds for overcoming MDR in cancer.
