note = {According to the World Health Organisation cancer is the second leading cause of death in industrialized countries. In many cases treatment fails due to the development of resistance against multiple (structurally and mechanistically) unrelated anticancer drugs (multidrug resistance – MDR). One of the several mechanisms responsible for MDR is the reduced accumulation of drugs, which is – on the cellular level – mediated by energy dependent transport proteins like P-glycoprotein (P-gp). A promising strategy to overcome P-gp mediated MDR is to exploit the function of the transporter by selectively targeting the resistant cancer cells.
Diverse compounds have been reported to show enhanced toxicity in MDR cells, but in a systematic approach using several cell line pairs and the application of a P-gp-inhibitor, it occurs, that the MDR selectivity of these compounds is often restricted to single cell line pairs and not mediated by the activity of the transport protein. In contrast, compounds identified in a pharmacogenomic approach, proved to show an enhanced activity in MDR cells as compared to their sensitive counterparts, which was found to be P-gp dependent.
In the scope of this thesis, a compound library of 51 chelators around the MDR-selective thiosemicarbazone lead compound NSC73306 was designed, synthesized and their anticancer activity was evaluated against a panel of sensitive and MDR cancer cell lines. Structure activity relationships reveal a superior toxicity of NNS and NNN donor chelators as compared to ONS derivatives regardless of the resistance status of the cells.
Furthermore a set of four structurally related 8-hydroxyquinoline derived Mannich-bases with increasing MDR selectivity was investigated in detail with a focus on bioinorganic chemical properties that might be characteristic for the MDR selective toxicity.
Evaluation of both compound classes allows the conclusion, that chelation is necessary for MDR selective toxicity, since non-chelating derivatives lack toxicity, but alone it is not sufficient, since not every chelator is an MDR selective agent.
With respect to the 8-hydroxyquinolines trends can be seen from a bioinorganic chemical point of view, since the pKa values of the ligands, as well as their metal binding abilities (reflected as pM* values for iron (III) and copper (II)) seem to influence the toxicity of the ligands. Furthermore, a tendency can be observed that MDR selective ligands seem to prefer copper binding over iron binding.
A biological evidence for the importance of metal binding can be seen from experiments, in which the iron (III) and copper (II) ions were co-administered to the ligands.
Chelators can act as anticancer agents via various mechanisms, some of which include the formation ofreactive oxygen species (ROS) that occur as a result of redox cycling of formed metal complexes. The redox activity of formed iron and copper complexes, and their ability to undergo intracellular redox cycling, was confirmed by means of cyclic voltammetry and spectrophotometrically monitoring of reactions with antioxidants like glutathione (GSH).
Two complementary assay systems have been established, in order to measure the formation of ROS on a cellular level.},
