Chemotherapy is an important means of cancer treatment. However, overexpression of efflux transporters (including but not limited to P-gp and BCRP) can lead to resistance to cancer chemotherapy. Multiple-target inhibitors of efflux transporter can be overcome the resistance and improve the oral bioavailability of chemotherapy drugs. Therefore, we designed and synthesized a series of phthalazinone ring derivatives (1-20) with different aromatic heterocycles substituents on the amide bond for dual inhibition of P-gp and BCRP. Most target compounds significantly increased the accumulation of P-gp substrates in the chemo-resistant cancer cell lines by inhibiting the efflux of transporters. Compound 19 in particular showed stronger MDR reversal compared to Gefitinib and Verapamil, and comparable to that of the BCRP inhibitor Ko143. In addition, compound 19 improved intestinal absorption of paclitaxel (PTX) and enhanced the bioavailability of the orally administered drug in vivo.
