Overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is one of the major causes for multidrug resistance (MDR), which has become a major obstacle in cancer therapy. One hopeful approach to reverse the MDR is to develop inhibitors of P-gp in expression and/or function. Here, we designed and synthesized a series of chalcone derivatives as P-gp inhibitors and evaluated their potential reversal activities against MDR. Among them, the most active compound MY3 had little intrinsic cytotoxicity and showed the highest activity (RF = 50.19) in reversing DOX resistance in MCF-7/DOX cells. Further studies demonstrated that MY3 could increase intracellular accumulation of DOX and inhibit expression of P-gp at mRNA and protein levels. More importantly, MY3 significantly enhanced the efficacy of DOX against the tumor xenografts bearing MCF-7/DOX cells with the precondition of unchanged body weight. Therefore, MY3 might represent a promising lead to develop MDR reversal agents for cancer chemotherapy.

Preventing HIV transmission by the use of a vaginal microbicide is a topic of considerable interest in the fight against AIDS. Both a potent anti-HIV agent and an efficient formulation are required to develop a successful microbicide. In this regard, molecules able to inhibit the HIV replication before the integration of the viral DNA into the genetic material of the host cells, such as entry inhibitors or reverse transcriptase inhibitors (RTIs), are ideal candidates for prevention purpose. Among RTIs, S- and N-dihydroalkyloxybenzyloxopyrimidines (S-DABOs and N-DABOs) are interesting compounds active at nanomolar concentration against wild type of RT and with a very interesting activity against RT mutations. Herein, novel N-DABOs were synthesized and tested as anti-HIV agents. Furthermore, their mode of binding was studied by molecular modeling. At the same time, a vaginal microbicide gel formulation was developed and tested for one of the most promising candidates.

A ratiometric two-photon fluorescent probe for SO2 derivatives was first proposed based on acedan-merocyanine dyads via a TP-FRET strategy. It was successfully applied to visualization of the fluctuations of enzymatically generated SO2 derivatives in the mitochondria of HepG2 cells and rat liver tissues using two-photon fluorescence microscopy imaging.
