Abstract

The effect of 24 newly synthesized quinoline derivatives on tumor cell multidrug resistance (MDR) was examined in vitro. At low concentrations, these compounds enhanced the accumulation of [3H] vincristine in K562/ADM cells and reversed tumor cell MDR. The results of the structure-activity relationship analysis indicate that in highly active compounds the two aryl rings in the hydrophobic moiety deviate from a common plane, so they are capable of ...
