Nobiletin and derivatives thereof can reduce IC of paclitaxel in drug-resistant HCT8/T cells50The anti-tumor effect of the paclitaxel is enhanced, and the cytotoxicity is obviously lower than that of the paclitaxel; wherein the IC of C7, C12, C6 and C1 is combined with paclitaxel50The values were 185-fold, 87-fold, 81-fold, and 66-fold lower than paclitaxel alone.
TABLE 1 IC of nobiletin derivatives paclitaxel in experiments reversing HCT8/T drug resistance cells50Test results
aThe cytotoxicity of the compound;bIC of P-gp inhibitor in combination with paclitaxel50;cMultiple of reversal as IC50(paclitaxel)/IC50(P-gp inhibitor in combination with paclitaxel).
From table 1,4 compounds C1, C6, C7 and C19 with higher fold reversal were identified, wherein C6 has higher cytotoxicity, so compounds C1, C7 and C19 were selected as subjects to test their solubility and animal experiments.
1. And (3) testing the solubility: the solubility of three compounds, C1, C7 and C19, was measured by high performance liquid chromatography in sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer at room temperature and found to be: 3.67 + -0.52 μ g/mL, 5.58 + -1.17 μ g/mL, and 1.58 + -0.13 mg/mL; wherein the water solubility of compound C19 is 283 times higher than that of C7.
2. Animal experiments: all animal experiments were approved by the animal care and use committee of the university of traditional Chinese medicine, Guangzhou (code: ZYYL 20150807).
Tumor mice were randomized into 9 groups (n ═ 6): a control group (CTR), a 15mg/kg PTX administration group, a 50mg/kg nobiletin (C7) administration group, a 50mg/kg C1 administration group, a 50mg/kg C19 administration group, a 50mg/kg nobiletin (C7) +15mg/kg PTX administration group, a 25mg/kg C1+15mg/kg PTX administration group, a 50mg/kg C1+15mg/kg PTX administration group, a 25mg/kg C19+15mg/kg PTX administration group, and a 50mg/kg C19+15mg/kg PTX administration group. Resuspend 5X 10 with 50. mu.L of RPMI 1640 medium and 50. mu.L of matrigel6A549/T cells were injected subcutaneously into right forelimb axillary tumors (A549/T xenograft tumors) of 8-week nude mice. After 5 days, the tumor-forming mice are administrated by intraperitoneal injection once every 3 days, the tumor volume is recorded every three days, and the calculation formula is as follows: volume (width squared length)/2, recorded by day 30, all nude mice were sacrificed, tumors excised, then weighed on an electronic balance, and the weight of each group of tumors recorded.
On the basis of the previous studies, the tumors that have developed resistance, were injected intraperitoneally with an effective dose (15mg/kg) of Paclitaxel (PTX) alone, and had no significant therapeutic effect on the resistant tumors compared to the non-administered blank group (Cancer Chemother Pharmacol 2007,60, 907-914). Thus, test compounds C1, C7, C19 of the present invention were combined with PTX, respectively, and test compounds C1, C7, C19 were tested for their reversal effect on tumor resistance to PTX, as shown in fig. 1.
As can be seen from FIG. 1, compound C19 was administered in combination with PTX at doses of 25mg/kg and 50mg/kg, respectively, with a significant reduction in tumor volume compared to the PTX group administered alone; in addition, all nude mice had no significant weight loss, indicating that the combination did not cause additional toxicity; in the A549/T xenograft tumor transplantation model, the PTX combined with C19(50mg/kg) can remarkably reduce the tumor volume by 57 percent and is more effective than equivalent dose of nobiletin (C7) (P < 0.05); similarly, C1 also enhanced the therapeutic effect of PTX in a549/T xenograft model, with similar inhibitory effect to that of nobiletin.
As can be seen from the above results, the solubility of the nobiletin derivative of the present invention is significantly improved compared to nobiletin, wherein the water solubility of C19 is 283 times that of C7; meanwhile, after the nobiletin derivative and Paclitaxel (PTX) are jointly administered, the paclitaxel concentration in a tumor cell body is obviously improved, the drug resistance of the tumor cell in the tumor cell body is reversed, the effect of the paclitaxel on inhibiting the tumor growth is improved, and the nobiletin derivative can be prepared into a drug-resistant tumor multi-drug resistance reversal agent for application and mixed with other anti-tumor drugs for application, so that the prevention and treatment effect of the tumor is improved.
It should be finally noted that the above examples are only intended to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit the scope of the present invention, and that other variations and modifications based on the above description and thought may be made by those skilled in the art, and that all embodiments need not be exhaustive. Any modification, equivalent replacement, and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
