AB  - Multidrug resistant (MDR) cancer cases continue to increase, such that the search for novel and more effective anti-cancer therapeutics is of high priority. In some MDR cancers, the overexpression of membrane transport proteins, like P-glycoprotein (P-gp), continues to be a major impediment to successful therapy. Plectranthus genus (Lamiaceae), known for their medicinal and therapeutic properties, is a well-known source of bioactive diterpenoids, such as 7α-acetoxy-6β-hydroxyroyleanone (Roy) and 6,7- dehydroroyleanone (DeRoy). Based on in silico molecular docking studies, a small library of semi-synthetic derivates was prepared. The antitumoural activity of the compounds was assessed in resistant human cancer cell lines NCI-H460/R and DLD1-TxR. Cell viability was assessed using MTT assay and cell death induction by Annexin V/PI. Overall, it was demonstrated that three of the abietane diterpenoid analogues induced P-gp inhibition in MDR cancer cell lines, presenting novel selective compounds for the possible treatment of lung and colon cancer. Moreover, Roy and DeRoy nano-formulations were successfully prepared. DeRoy hybrid nanoparticles significantly increased the efficacy of DeRoy in NCI-H460 and NCI- H460/R. Roy, conjugated with oleic acid afforded self-assembly nanoparticles, to improve aqueous solubility and bioavailability of Roy. This new nano formulation did not decrease cell viability of Vero-E6 cells when compared to Roy with potential as a pro-drug delivery system. Currently, top hit derivatives are being prepared into nano-formulations for prospective pharmaceutical use as P-gp modulators.

AB  - Multidrug resistance (MDR) is one of the main challenges in cancer treatment, in which overexpression of
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) plays an important role. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify new
compounds that can exert anticancer effects and at the same time revert MDR. In this context, Plectranthus
genus (Lamiaceae) is a great source of cytotoxic compounds that could be used as lead molecules for
drug development, such as 6,7-dehydroroyleanone (1) (P. madagascariensis (Pers.) Benth. essential oil)
and 7α-acetoxy-6β-hydroxyroyleanone (2) (P. grandidentatus Gürke) [1].
The aim of this work was to prepare a small library of new 12-O-substituted derivatives with potential P-gp
inhibitory effect by exploring the reactivity of the natural royleanones 1 and 2. In this study, we identified a
new derivative that exhibited a P-gp inhibitory activity higher than the natural diterpenes 1 and 2, and
comparable to Dexverapamil. Furthermore, this compound showed the ability to sensitize the resistant cell
line NCI-H460/R to doxorubicin. This activity was evaluated in the human non-small cell lung carcinoma
(NCI-H460) cell line and its MDR counterpart NCI-H460/R with the P-gp overexpression by using the MTT
and Rhodamine 123 accumulation assays. Further derivatizations and quantitative structure–activity
relationship analysis are ongoing to discover new derivatives with improved activity.

AB  - The development of multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major cause of failure in cancer chemotherapy. Several abietane diterpenes with antitumoral activities have been isolated from Plectranthus spp. such as 6,7-dehydroroyleanone (DHR, 1) and 7α-acetoxy-6β-hydroxyroyleanone (AHR, 2). Several royleanone derivatives were prepared through hemisynthesis from natural compounds 1 and 2 to achieve a small library of products with enhanced anti-P-glycoprotein activity. Nonetheless, some derivatives tend to be unstable. Therefore, to reason such lack of stability, the electron density based local reactivity descriptors condensed Fukui functions and dual descriptor were calculated for several derivatives of DHR. Additionally, molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies were performed on several other derivatives to clarify the molecular mechanisms by which they may exert their inhibitory effect in P-gp activity. The analysis on local reactivity descriptors was important to understand possible degradation pathways and to guide further synthetic approaches toward new royleanone derivatives. A molecular docking study suggested that the presence of aromatic moieties increases the binding affinity of royleanone derivatives toward P-gp. It further suggests that one royleanone benzoylated derivative may act as a noncompetitive efflux modulator when bound to the M-site. The future generation of novel royleanone derivatives will involve (i) a selective modification of position C-12 with chemical moieties smaller than unsubstituted benzoyl rings and (ii) the modification of the substitution pattern of the benzoyloxy moiety at position C-6.
