Overexpression of ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters, including P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), is an important factor leading to multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer treatments. Three subclasses of dual inhibitors of P-gp and BCRP were designed based on the active moieties of BCRP inhibitors, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and P-gp inhibitors, of which compound 21 possessed low cytotoxicity, high reversal potency, and good lipid distribution coefficient. 21 also increased the accumulation of Adriamycin (ADM) and Mitoxantrone (MX), blocked Rh123 efflux, and made no change in the protein expression of P-gp and BCRP. Importantly, coadministration of 21 can significantly improve the oral bioavailability of paclitaxel (PTX). It was also demonstrated that 21 significantly inhibited the growth of K562/A02 xenograft tumors by increasing the sensitivity of ADM in vivo. In summary, 21 has the potential to overcome MDR caused by P-gp and BCRP and to improve the oral bioavailability of PTX.

Identification of potent agonists of odorant receptors (ORs), a major class of G protein-coupled receptors, remains challenging due to complex receptor–ligand interactions. ORs are present in both olfactory and non-chemosensory tissues, indicating roles beyond odor detection that may include modulating physiological functions in non-olfactory tissues. Selective and potent agonists specific for particular ORs can be used to investigate physiological functions of ORs in non-chemosensory tissues. In this study, we designed and synthesized novel synthetic dehydroacetic acid analogues as agonists of odorant receptor 895 (Olfr895) expressed in bladder. Among the synthesized analogues, (E)-3-((E)-1-hydroxy-3-(piperidin-1-yl)allylidene)-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2,4(3H)-dione (10) exhibited extremely high agonistic activity for Olfr895 in Dual-Glo luciferase reporter (EC50=9 nm), Ca2+ imaging, and chemotactic migration assays. Molecular docking and site-directed mutagenesis studies suggested that a combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions is central to the selective and specific binding of 10 to Olfr895. The design of agonists armed with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic portions could therefore lead to highly potent and selective ligands for ectopic ORs.

A straightforward and modular preparative approach to 1,3,5-triaroylbenzene-based functionalized cyclophane ring systems has been developed. The key cyclophane-forming macrocyclization reaction was accomplished during the course of a regioselective cross-benzannulation between bis(aryl ethynyl) ketone and enaminone reactants. Macrocyclic products with ring sizes ranging from 18-to 22-membered were successfully constructed. The composition of the tether connecting the two aryl ethynyl ketone fragments can be easily varied; consequently, this method is suitable for construction of a diverse range of structurally distinct cyclophane products. To illustrate this feature, cyclophanes possessing xylyl, alkyl, di(ethylene triamine), and di(ethylene oxy) bridging units were synthesized in isolated yields of 11-46%. Three new cyclophanes (calixarene-like macrocyles 8 and 9, as well as crownophane 18) were structurally characterized by X-ray diffractometry.
