Human ABCB1 confers cells resistance to cytotoxic guanidine alkaloids from Pterogyne nitens.
2015
Multidrug resistance (MDR) caused by human ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein/MDR1) is one of the major obstacles in chemotherapy. To understand the mechanism of MDR by ABCB1 and circumvent the MDR, in the present study, we established human ABCB1-expressing cells (Flp-In-293/ABCB1 cells) and examined the cytotoxic effects of four guanidine alkaloids from Pterogyne nitens (galegine, nitensidine A, pterogynidine and pterogynine) using Flp-In-293/Mock and Flp-In-293/ABCB1 cells. The activity of ABCB1 in Flp-In-293/ABCB1 cells were confirmed by typical substrates for ABCB1 (taxol and vinblastine) in MTT assay. Flp-In-293/ABCB1 cells were also resistant to the four guanidine alkaloids as well as taxol and v…
Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and electrostatic potential study of naturally occurring cassane-type diterpenoid Pulcherrimin C monohy…

Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and Hirshfeld surface analysis of the title compound were carried out to analyse quantitatively the intermolecular interactions involved in the crystal packing. The electrostatic potential surface was generated over the Hirshfeld surface to visualize the potential active sites.
