Our previous studies showed that several sipholane triterpenes, sipholenol A, sipholenone E, sipholenol L and siphonellinol D, have potent reversal effect for multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells that overexpressed P-glycoprotein (P-gp/ABCB1). Through comparison of cytotoxicity towards sensitive and multi-drug resistant cell lines, we identif...

... In further experiment, semisynthetic esters sipholenol A-4-O-acetate and sipholenol A-4-O-isonicotinate were found to effectively reverse P-gp-mediated MDR. ABCB1 gene expression vector transfected in HEK-293 cells was used to examine the effect of sipholane analogs on P-gp.[89] One novel molecule, spongionellol A, and five already known spongian diterpenes derivatives from the deep-water marine sponge Spongionella sp. ...
