The transmembrane ABC transporters P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) are widely recognized for their role in cancer multidrug resistance and absorption and distribution of compounds. Furthermore, they are linked to drug–drug interactions and toxicity. Nevertheless, due to their polyspecificity, a molecular understanding of the ligand-transporter interaction, which allows designing of both selective and dual inhibitors, is still in its infancy. This study comprises a combined approach of synthesis, in silico prediction, and in vitro testing to identify molecular features triggering transporter selectivity. Synthesis and testing of a series of 15 propafenone analogues with varied rigidity and basicity of substituents provide first trends for selective and dual inhibitors. Results indicate that both the flexibility of the substituent at the nitrogen atom, as well as the basicity of the nitrogen atom, trigger transporter selectivity. Furthermore, inhibitory activity of compounds at P-gp seems to be much more influenced by logP than those at BCRP. Exploiting these differences further should thus allow designing specific inhibitors for these two polyspecific ABC-transporters.
Photocyclization Reactions. Part 1. Synthesis of Dihydrobenzofuranols Using Photocyclization of 2-Alkoxybenzaldehydes, 2'-Alkoxyacetophenones, 2-Formylphenoxyacetic Acids and 2-Acetylphenoxyacetic Acids

Photocyclization reactions were carried out on 2-alkoxybenzaldehydes 1a-f, 2'-alkoxyacetophenones 2a-h, 2-formylphenoxyacetic acids 1i-l and 2-acetylphenoxyacetic acids 2i-m.Irradiation opf 1a-f and 2a-h in acetonitrile gave the corresponding dihydrobenzofuranols 3, 5 and dihydroisobenzofuranols 4, 6.Using carboxylic acids 1i-l, 2i-m as starting materials, decarboxylation occurred immediately to give the corresponding ethers 1a-d, 2a-e.Further irradiation of the solution afforded dihydrobenzofuranols 3,5 and dihydroisobenzofuranols 4, 6.Substituent effects on photocyclization and reaction pathways are discussed.
