Discovery of phenylselenoether-hydantoin hybrids as ABCB1 efflux pump modulating agents with cytotoxic and antiproliferative actions in resistant T-lymphoma

Multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells is a crucial aspect to consider for a successful cancer therapy. P-gp/ABCB1, a member of ABC transporters, is involved in the main tumour MDR mechanism, responsible for the efflux of drugs and cytotoxic substances. Herein, we describe a discovery of potent selenium-containing ABCB1 MDR efflux pump modulators with promising anticancer activity. On three groups of selenoethers comprehensive studies in...
