The effects of bergapten on P-gp function and P-gp ATPase activity were determined by rhodamine123(Rho123) accumulation and activity analysis, respectively. 1,6-Diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene(DPH) was used to study the effects of bergapten on membrane fluidity, and Western blotting and quantitative realtime PCR assays were performed to analyze the effect of bergapten on the protein and mRNA expression of P-gp, respectively. These experiments clarified the effects of bergapten on the transport of vincristine and allowed exploration of the possible mechanism underlying the effects of bergapten.Results: The results showed that bergapten could inhibit the transport of vincristine in MDCK-MDR1 cells,and the binding force between bergapten and P-gp was weaker. Bergapten could reduce the accumulation of Rh123 in MDCK-MDR1 cells, increase the membrane fluidity, and upregulate P-gp protein and mRNA expression but it had no effect on P-gp ATPase activity.Conclusions: Overall, we concluded that the possible mechanism through which bergapten inhibits vincristine transport was related to the bergapten-mediated upregulation of P-gp protein and mRNA expression, membrane fluidity or P-gp enzyme activity.展开更多

With the adoption of the acetylation of enol tautomer, the deacetoxylation and the DDQ dehydrogenation, the novel approach differs greatly from the processes reported previously, though the starting material was the same or similar to those used on previous synthetic processes. The newly adopted reaction underwent easily, affording all reactions in high yields, especially acetylation and deacetoxylation and DDQ dehydrogenation in almost quantitative yields, ensuring a final yield higher than those previously reported.展开更多
