Novel multidrug resistance reversal agents

A series of 59 α-aryl-α-thioether-alkyl, -alkanenitrile, and - alkanecarboxylic acid methyl ester tetrahydroisoquinoline and isoindoline derivatives (15a-48) were synthesized and evaluated as multidrug resistance (MDR) reversal agents. The compounds were

MDR reversal agents

Compounds of the general formula: STR1 wherein R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are herein described, A is a straight or branched (C2 -C12)alkyl or a phenyl moiety and B is a moiety of the formula: STR2 The compounds are effective in potentiating the activity of chemotherapeutic anti-cancer agents by increasing the sensitivity of multi-drug resistant cells to such chemotherapeutic agents.
