Potent ABCG2 inhibitors were recently identified as asymmetric chromones with different types of substituents. We here synthesized symmetric bis-chalcones that were differently substituted and screened for their ability to inhibit mitoxantrone efflux from ABCG2-transfected HEK293 cells. Potent bis-chalcone inhibitors were identified, the efficiency depending on both position of the central ketone groups and the number and positions of lateral methoxy substituents. The best derivative, namely, 1p, was selective for ABCG2 over P-glycoprotein and MRP1, appeared not to be transported by ABCG2, and was at least as active on various drug-selected cancer cells overexpressing ABCG2. Compound 1p stimulated the ABCG2 basal ATPase activity by contrast to a chromone lead that inhibited it, suggesting different mechanisms of interaction. Combination of both types of inhibitors produced synergistic effects, leading to complete inhibition at very low concentrations.
