    Abstract:
    1,3,5-Triazacycloheptanes were synthesized and examined for reversal of the multidrug resistance dependent on P-glycoprotein. Most of these compounds increased the intracellular uptake of vinblastine in multidrug-resistant mouse leukemia P388/ADR cells without influence upon the vinblastine accumulation in P388/S cells. The efficacy of 1,5-dibenzyl-1,3,5-triazacycloheptanes in increasing the vinblastine accumulation was in the order of 2,4-dithioxo (5) > 2-oxo-4-thioxo (4) approximately 4-(methylthio)-2-oxo (6) > 2,4-dioxo (2). The efficacy was further increased when the benzyl group was converted to a chlorobenzyl group. Among these compounds, 6c [1,5-bis(4-chlorobenzyl)-1,5,6,7-terahydro-4-(methylthio)-2H-1,3,5 - triazepin-2-one] potentiated the in vitro cell growth-inhibitory effect of vinblastine, adriamycin, and mitomycin C on P388/ADR cells and prolonged the life span of P388/ADR-bearing mice in combined therapy with vinblastine more than vinblastine alone.
