Abstract
A series of novel salicyl-hydrazone analogues were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activities in five human cancer cell lines, namely, lung cancer (A549), ovarian cancer (SK-OV-3), skin cancer (SK-MEL-2), colon cancer (HCT15) and pancreatic cancer (MIA-PaCa-2) cells, and for their in vitro tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA) inhibitory activities. Each of the compounds showed significant cytotoxicity against all cancer cells. Compound 3i was found to be most potent against all cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 2.46 (A549), 0.87 (SK-OV-3), 1.43 (SK-MEL-2), 0.89 (HCT15), and 0.48μM (MIA-PaCa-2), followed by compound 3l. Cytotoxicity of 3i was similar to that of doxorubicin (0.87μM) against HCT15 cells. Compounds 3i and 3l also showed highest TrkA inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 0.231 and 0.380μM, respectively. A SAR study of the series revealed that compounds with hydroxyl groups showed better cytotoxicity and TrkA inhibitory potency (in the following order 2,4-OH>2,3,4-OH>3,4-OH>4-OH) than compounds possessing electron donating or withdrawing groups on the benzylidenephenyl ring. Docking studies of compounds 3i and 3l conducted on the crystal structure of TrkA receptor (a promising target for anticancer agents) showed both had a high docking score and similar order of experimental TrkA inhibitory activities. The formation of several hydrogen bonds involving N and O containing moieties contributed most significantly to ligand binding and stabilization at the active site of the receptor. In addition, ligand-receptor complexes were further stabilized by π-cation, π-anion, amide-π stacked, and van der Waal's interactions. Conformational analyses showed ligand molecules adopted similar conformations at the receptor active site during interactions, but that the low energy optimized conformations of compounds 3i and 3l differed.

Abstract
Laryngoscopy and endobronchial intubation usually cause transient hypertension and tachycardia. We investigated whether thoracic epidurally injected 3 μg/kg clonidine attenuates cardiovascular responses to intubation compared with 2 μg/kg fentanyl and 1 mg/kg lidocaine. Epidural catheterization was performed at the T6–T7 or T7–T8 intervertebral space, and saline or clonidine in saline was injected 20 min before anaesthetic induction. Anaesthesia was induced using 5 mg/kg thiopental sodium and 0.1 mg/kg vecuronium. Laryngoscopy and endobronchial intubation were performed 2 min later. Mean blood pressure and heart rate were measured throughout anaesthetic induction. In the control group and the fentanyl group, mean blood pressure and heart rate 3 min after endobronchial intubation were elevated significantly compared with baseline. In the clonidine group, however, mean blood pressure and heart rate did not increase compared with baseline. The control group had higher mean blood pressure and heart rate than the clonidine group 3 min after endobronchial intubation. Thoracic epidural clonidine may attenuate the haemodynamic response to endobronchial intubation.

Abstract
Abstract
Maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase (MELK), a member of the snf1/AMPK family of serine-threonine kinase, was indicated in stem cell renewal, cell cycle progression. Recently, several groups reported that MELK expression level is highly correlated with malignancy of a variety of tumors and its expression in the cancer cells is a negative factor of radiotherapy in cancer patients. Therefore, MELK can be a good target for cancer drug development. Previously, we tested the neuronal cell differentiation by the compound-1, a quinoxaline-based small molecule, with rat mesenchymal stem cells, and we found that the gene expression level of MELK is dramatically decreased in the differentiated cells in comparison with the parental stem cells. Based on this phenomenon, we checked the MELK gene expression in the several central nerve system cancer cell lines such as U87MG, XL498 and SNB19, and examined the change of the gene expression level by treatment of compound 1. All the cancer cells tested in this study expressed the MELK gene and its expression level is significantly decreased by the treatment of 20 uM compound 1. To confirm the relationship between the MELK gene expression and cell proliferation in brain tumor cells, we transfected the MELK gene to the U87MG cells and tested the cell growth rate in the presence or absence of compound 1 in comparison with parental cells. The cell growth rate of MELK gene-transfected cancer cells increased in comparison with the non-transfected control cells, and its overexpression can recover the down-regulation of the cell proliferation by treatment of compound 1. Meanwhile, the treatment of MELK gene siRNA decreased the cell proliferation rate of the U87MG cells in time dependent manner. In the cell cycle analysis, compound 1 induced both the increase of apoptotic cell rate from less than 5% to 22% and the decrease of G0/G1 phase U87MG cells in comparison with control. Meanwhile, the S and G2/M phase is not changed by the treatment of compound 1 in the U87MG cells. These results support MELK has an effect on regulation of cancer cell proliferation, and it may be a good target for cancer drug development.

Abstract
Multi-targeting therapy is an emerging strategy of drug discovery to improve therapeutic efficacy, safety and resistance profiles. In this study, we monitored the binding of a potent MDM2 inhibitor Nutlin-3 with anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins using NMR spectroscopy. Our results showed the universal binding of Nutlin-3 with diverse anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins. Taken together with the binding data for Nutlin-3 analogs, the structural model of the Bcl-X(L)/Nutlin-3 complex showed that the binding mode of Nutlin-3 resembles that of the Bcl-X(L)/Bcl-2 inhibitors, suggesting the molecular mechanism of transcription-independent mitochondrial apoptosis by Nutlin-3. Finally, our structural comparison provides structural insights into the dual-targeting mechanism of how Nutlin-3 can bind to two different target proteins, MDM2 and anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins in a similar manner.

Abstract
This study compared the ability of the Zeus multifunctional anaesthesia system to control haemodynamic response to surgical stimulation in semi-closed (SCA) or closed circuit anaesthesia (CCA) modes. Fifty patients undergoing gynaecological surgery were randomly assigned to SCA or CCA. Anaesthesia was induced with 2 mg propofol and 0.9 mg/kg rocuronium, intravenously, and maintained using sevoflurane (minimum alveolar concentration [MAC], 1.0) using 2 l/min oxygen plus 2 l/min nitrous oxide (SCA 4 l/min group) or 50% oxygen plus 50% nitrous oxide (CCA group). An increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP) > 20% above baseline in response to surgical stimulation provoked a stepwise increase in sevoflurane (1.3 MAC and then 1.6 MAC), followed by fentanyl 1 pg/kg intravenously (rescue drug). The time required for MAP to return to within 10% of baseline was significantly shorter in the CCA group (6.4 +/- 3.6 min) compared with the SCA 4 l/min group (10.2 +/- 6.0 min). The percentage of patients requiring fentanyl was significantly greater in the SCA 4 l/min group than in the CCA group. In conclusion, CCA controlled acute haemodynamic responses to surgical stimuli more successfully and rapidly than SCA 4 l/min, using a multifunctional anaesthesia machine.

Abstract
This clinical study compared induction time, consumed anaesthetic dose, and haemodynamic and recovery profiles when using a new type of multifunctional anaesthesia machine (Zeus®) in semi-closed or closed circuit modes. Sixty female patients undergoing gynaecological surgery were randomly assigned to three groups and received desflurane anaesthesia through a semi-closed circuit (SCC) at fresh gas flow rates of 4 l/min (SCC 4 l/min) or 2 l/min (SCC 2 l/min), or through a closed circuit (CC). Anaesthesia was maintained at the minimum alveolar concentration for blocking the adrenergic response to painful stimulus (MACBAR) (4.6% end-tidal desflurane) during each operation. The time required to reach MACBAR was significantly shorter and the dose of desflurane was significantly smaller in the CC group compared with the other groups. There were no differences in haemodynamic and recovery profiles between the groups. It is concluded that the CC mode allowed a faster and more reliable induction, lower anaesthetic consumption and stable haemodynamic and recovery profiles.

Abstract
Indirubin is an active constituent of traditional Chinese recipe used for the treatment of chronic myelocytic leukemia. In this study, inhibitory activity of indirubin and its derivatives toward Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) was examined. Indirubin-3′-oxime(IO) and 6-bromoindirubin-3′-oxime(BIO) showed potent inhibitory activity against FLT3 with 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 79 nM and 254 nM, respectively. Meanwhile, indirubin and 6-bromoindirubin exhibited negligible effect on FLT3 inhibitory activity up to 10 µM. We also tested the cytotoxicity of those compounds against acute myeloid leukemia cell lines; MV4;11 cells harboring constitutively activated form of FLT3 and RS4;11 cells with wild type FLT3. IO and BIO potently inhibited the growth of MV4;11 cells with IC50 of 30 nM and 61 nM, respectively. On the other hand, RS4;11 cells were far less sensitive to those compounds with IC50 values of 3600 nM and 820 nM, respectively. In the cell cycle assay, IO arrested the cell cycle of MV4;11 cells at G1 phase, and increased dead cell population at sub-G1 phase about 25 and 50% at 0.1 and 1.0 µM after 48 hours, respectively. These results strongly suggest that the derivatives of IO have potentials to be developed for novel anti-leukemic agents.

Abstract
AIMS The resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs is a major problem for successful cancer treatment. Multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype is characterized by over-expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) on the cancer cell plasma membrane that extrudes drugs out of the cells. Therefore, novel MDR reversal agents are desirable for combination therapy to reduce MDR and enhance anti-tumor activity. Thus, the present study was aimed to evaluate the potent efficacy of novel quinoline derivative KB3-1 as a potent MDR-reversing agent for combined therapy with TAX. MAIN METHODS MDR reversing effect and TAX combined therapy were examined by Rhodamine accumulation and efflux assay and Confocal immunofluorescence microscopy, Western blotting, TUNEL assay, and cell cycle analysis. KEY FINDINGS The discovery of quinoline-3-carboxylic acid [4-(2-[benzyl-3[-(3,4-dimethoxy-phenyl)-propionyl]-amino]-ethyl)-phenyl]-amide (KB3-1) as a novel MDR-reversal agent. KB3-1 significantly enhanced the accumulation and retention of a P-gp substrate, rhodamine-123 in the P-gp-expressing MES-SA/DX5 uterine sarcoma cells but not in the P-gp-negative MES-SA cells at non-toxic concentrations of 1 microM and 3 microM. Similarly, fluorescence microscopy observation revealed that KB3-1 reduced the effluxed rhodamine-123 expression on the membrane of MES-SA/DX5 cells. Consistent with decreased P-gp pumping activity, confocal microscopic observation revealed that KB3-1 effectively diminished the expression of P-gp in paclitaxel (TAX)-treated MES-SA/DX-5 cells. Furthermore, Western blotting confirmed that KB3-1 reduced P-gp expression and enhanced cytochrome C release and Bax expression in TAX treated MES-SA/DX-5 cells. In addition, KB3-1 enhanced TAX-induced apoptotic bodies in MES-SA/DX5 cells by TdT-mediated-dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining assay aswell as potentiated TAX- induced cytotoxicity, G2/M phase arrest and sub-G1 apoptosis in MES-SA/DX5 cells but not in MES-SA cells. Interestingly, KB3-1 at 3 microM had comparable MDR-reversal activity to 10 microM verapamil, a well-known MDR- reversal agent. SIGNIFICANCE KB3-1 can be a MDR-reversal drug candidate for combination chemotherapy with TAX.

Abstract
The efficacy and safety of the routine use of target-controlled infusion of propofol for the sedation of patients undergoing transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy were assessed. The optimal level of sedation was also evaluated. A total of 250 patients were randomized into five groups according to sedation level determined by the Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (OAA/S) scale. As the level of sedation was increased, the overall pain and discomfort score decreased and the satisfaction rate tended to increase, although hypoxia meant that intervention occurred more frequently at higher sedation levels. Target-controlled infusion of propofol provided safe and effective sedation during transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy, particularly if moderate sedation (OAA/S score of 3) was achieved. The effect-site concentration of propofol for this level of sedation was about 1.5 microg/ml.

Abstract
Alcoholic hydrogels containing prostaglandin E1 ethyl ester (PGE1-EE), a prodrug of PGE1 as a therapeutic agent for erectile dysfunction, were formulated. The prodrug was stable against chemical hydrolysis in aqueous solution (pH 7.4), devoid of esterase activities, but was hydrolyzed to the parent drug in rat skin homogenates within 240 min. In the rat skin penetration study for 24 h, the steady-state flux values (microg/cm2/h) of PGE1-EE and PGE, from alcoholic hydrogels having 20% ethanol content were 7.6 and 1.8, respectively. PGE1-EE was superior to PGE, from a skin penetration point of view due to its increased lipophilicity. The fastest skin penetration rate was obtained for PGE1-EE in 20% alcoholic hydrogel together with limonene or cineole. These formulations increased the flux of PGE1-EE up to about 4-fold compared to control hydrogel in the absence of penetration enhancers. In the pharmacodynamic study using a cat, alcoholic hydrogel with limonene or cineole showed a significant effect in terms of increasing intracavernosal pressure compared to control hydrogel. Therefore, the transdermal alcoholic hydrogel formulation of PGE1-EE with limonene or cineole can be a promising transdermal delivery system to overcome inconvenience associated with frequent intracavernosal injections for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

Abstract
A novel triterpenoid saponin, deapioplatycoside E (1) was isolated from the root extract of Platycodon grandiflorum, together with the seven known saponins 2 - 8, i. e., platycoside E (2), deapioplatycodin D3 (3), platycodin D3 (4), polygalacin D2 (5), platycodin D2 (6), deapioplatycodin D (7) and platycodin D (8). The structure of the new saponin 1 was determined on the basis of spectral analysis and chemical evidence. The crude saponin fraction (ED50: ca. 10 - 15 microg/mL) and compounds 6 - 8 (ED50: ca. 4 - 18 microg/mL) exhibited significant inhibition on the proliferation of five kinds of cultured human tumor cell lines, i. e., A549 (non-small cell lung), SK-OV-3 (ovary), SK-MEL-2 (melanoma), XF498 (central nerve system) and HCT-15 (colon), in vitro.

For the development of new anticancer agents, phenyl, 2-pyridyl, 2-furyl, 2-thienyl, 2-furylvinyl and 2-thienylvinyl substituted derivatives on 2,4,6-position in pyridine moiety were prepared and evaluated for their topoisomerase I inhibitory activity. Among the thirteen prepared compounds, four compounds exhibited strong topoisomerase I inhibitory activity. A structure-activity relationship study indicated that the 2-thienyl-4-furylpyridine skeleton was important for topoisomerase I inhibitory activity.

Abstract
Two xanthanolide sesquiterpene lactones, 8- epi-xanthatin (1) and 8- epi-xanthatin epoxide (2), isolated from the leaves of Xanthium strumarium (Compositae), demonstrated a significant inhibition on the proliferation of cultured human tumor cells, i. e., A549 (non-small cell lung), SK-OV-3 (ovary), SK-MEL-2 (melanoma), XF498 (central nervous system) and HCT-15 (colon) in vitro. They were also found to inhibit the farnesylation process of human lamin-B by farnesyltransferase (FTase), in a dose-dependent manner in vitro (IC 50 value was calculated as 64 and 58 microM, respectively). Due to the relatively high concentrations of 1 and 2 required to obtain an FTase inhibition as compared with those necessary for a cytotoxic effect on tumor cells, it remains unclear whether a relationship between these two activities exists.

Abstract
The present study was performed to compare the cardiovascular adverse effects of verapamil, KR30031 and their optical isomers, and also to measure their ability to overcome multidrug resistance (MDR). The R-isomer of KR30031 (R-KR30031) was equipotent with the S-isomer of KR30031 (S-KR30031) and 25-fold less potent than the R-isomer of verapamil (R-verapamil) in relaxing the aorta isolated from rat (EC50: 11.8, 10.2 and 0.46 microM, respectively). The effect of R-KR30031 in decreasing left ventricular pressure of heart isolated from rat was 2- and 267-fold smaller than those of S-KR30031 and R-verapamil, respectively (EC50: 23.9, 9.4 and 0.089 mM, respectively). The hypotensive effect of R-KR30031 in rat was about 2- and 23-fold smaller than those of S-KR30031 and R-verapamil, respectively (ED20: 1.15, 0.60 and 0.05 mg/kg, respectively). On the other hand, R-KR30031 elicited potency similar to those of S-KR30031 and R-verapamil in enhancing the paclitaxel-induced cytotoxicity to HCT15/CL02 and MES-SA/DX5 cells that reveal high levels of P-glycoprotein expression (IC50: 3.11, 3.04 and 2.58 microM, respectively). In addition, the intrinsic cytotoxicity of R-KR30031 in HCT15/CL02 and MES-SA/DX5 cells was observed only at the very high concentration of 100 microM. All these results suggest that R- and racemic KR30031 are active modulators of MDR with potentially minimal cardiovascular adverse activity.

Abstract
Implantable polymeric device that can release chemotherapeutic agent directly into central nervous system (CNS) has had an impact on malignant glioma therapy. The purpose of our study was to develop an implantable polymeric device, which can release intact 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU) for long-term period over 1 month, and to evaluate its cytotoxicity against XF 498 human CNS tumor cells in vitro. BCNU was incorporated into biodegradable poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), by using spray-drying method. BCNU-loaded PLGA microparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), powder X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry. SEM observation of the microparticles showed that the microparticles were spherical, i.e. microspheres. Homogeneous distribution of BCNU in PLGA microsphere was confirmed by significant reduction of crystallinity of BCNU. Microspheres were fabricated into wafers with flat and smooth surface by direct compression method. In vitro release of BCNU in pH 7.4 phosphate buffered saline was prolonged up to 8 weeks after short initial burst period. Antitumor activity of BCNU-loaded PLGA wafer against XF 498 human CNS tumor cells continued over 1 month and, PLGA only did not affect the growth of the cells. Meanwhile, the cytotoxic activity of BCNU powder disappeared within 12 h. These results strongly suggest that the BCNU/PLGA formulations increase release period of carmustine in vivo and also be useful in the development of implantable polymeric device for malignant glioma.

Abstract
Repeated column chromatographic separation of the CH2Cl2 extract of Artemisia stolonifera (Asteraceae) led to the isolation of a triterpene (I), a sesquiterpene (II), two aromatic compounds (III and IV) and a benzoquinone (V). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic means to be simiarenol (I), (1S,7S)-1beta-hydroxygermacra-4(15),5,10(14)-triene (II), 3'-methoxy-4'-hydroxy-trans-cinnamaldehyde (III), vanillin (IV) and 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (V), respectively. Among these products, compound V showed significant cytotoxicity against five human tumor cell lines in vitro, A549 (non small cell lung adenocarcinoma), SK-OV-3 (ovarian), SK-MEL-2 (skin melanoma), XF498 (CNS) and HCT15 (colon) with ED50 values ranging from 1.33-4.22 microg/ml.

Abstract
To explore the effect of substituents' on phenyl motif on sulfonyl function of novel anticancer 4-phenyl-1-benzenesulfonylimidazolidinones (1), electron donating or withdrawing substituents were introduced at 3 or 4-position and the analogs were tested against human lung (A549) and colon (HCT-15) cancer cell lines. Quantitative structure activity relationship of the 4-substituted series shows that only STERIMOL L values are well correlated. The increment of substituent's volume enhances the activity against both cell lines. The small substituent at 3-position additionally increases the activity. However naphthyl group in place of phenyl reduces the activity. Therefore the phenyl motif with sterically large substituent at 4-position and small substituent at 3-position may be important for their activity. Integration of these substituents' effects into the structural design led to discover the more potent analog, 4-phenyl-1-(N-acetylindoline-5-sulfonyl) imidazolidinone (1n).

Abstract
The present study was performed to evaluate the adverse effects of KR-30035, a multidrug-resistance modulator, on the cardiovascular system in vivo, along with its effect on paclitaxel-induced cell cycle arrest in cultured cancer cells. In anesthetized rats, KR-30035 was about 10-fold less potent than verapamil in lowering blood pressure (i.v. ED20: 0.320+/-0.052 and 0.034+/-0.005 mg/kg, respectively) and in producing electrocardiogram changes. In conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats, verapamil caused a significant antihypertensive effects at the doses tested (p.o. ED20, 7.8+/-4.0 mg/kg), whereas KR-30035 did not significantly change either the blood pressure or the heart rate at any doses tested (up to 100 mg/kg). The estimated i.v. LD50 values in mice were 5.9 and 48.9 mg/kg for verapamil and KR-30035, respectively. In the presence of 10 microM KR-30035, paclitaxel (1 microM) when added to cultures of HCT15/CL02 human cancer cells greatly shifted the cell population from the G0/G1 phases towards G2/M phases (from 42.4, 30.3 and 27.3 to 14.6, 21.5 and 63.9% for the G0/G1, S and G2/M phases, respectively), with a similar magnitude to that of 10 microM verapamil (14.0, 15.7 and 70.3%, respectively). These results suggest that KR-30035 has weaker in vivo effects on the cardiovascular system compared with verapamil, while potentiating the G2/M arresting effect of paclitaxel on the cell cycle.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the cytotoxicities of flavone (F01), 3-hydroxyflavone (F02), 6- hydroxyflavone (F03), 7-hydroxyflavone (F04), 3,6-dihydroxyflavone (F05), 5,7-dihydroxyflavone (F06) and 5,6,7-trihydroxyflavone (F07) to human cancer cells including P- glycoprotein (Pgp)-expressing HCT15 cells and its multidrug resistant subline, HCT15/CL02 cells. We also examined the effects of those flavonoids on the cell cycle of these cancer cells. HCT15/CL02 cells did not reveal resistance to all the flavonoids tested in comparison with HCT15 cells. In cell cycle analysis, all the flavonoids tested, except F01 and F04, reduced the G0/G1 population of SF295 cells at growth inhibitory concentrations, and increased G2/M (F02, F03 and F06) or S (F05 and F07) populations. In addition, F02 and F03 decreased the G2/M and G0/G1 population, and increased the S and G2/M population in HCT15 cells, respectively. Meanwhile, in HCT15/CL02 cells, F02 and F03 decreased the G0/G1 populations and increased the S population. In conclusion, we deemed that the flavonoids tested had diverse cytotoxic mechanisms, and exerted their cell growth inhibitory or killing activity by distinctive ways in different cells.

Abstract
We evaluated the topoisomerase II (Topo II) inhibitory activity of psammaplin A (PSA), a naturally occurring biphenolic compound, and its cytotoxicity to some human cancer cells including P-glycoprotein (Pgp)-overexpressing multidrug resistant (MDR) cell line. PSA completely inhibited the DNA relaxation activity of Topo II at 75.0 microM. It also completely inhibited the DNA decatenation activity of Topo II at 75.0 microM, and showed about 50% inhibitory activity at 18.8 microM. In the cytotoxicity assay, the effective concentrations that cause 50% inhibition of cell growth (EC50) were 0.48, 0.39, 1.83 and 3.76 microM to A549, SK-OV-3, HCT15 and HCT15/CL02 (MDR cell line established from HCT15 cells) cancer cells, respectively. In the presence of 8.0 microM of verapamil (VER), a well-known MDR modulator, the EC50 of PSA to HCT15/CL02 cells was reduced about 2.1 fold. Meanwhile, the EC50s of standard Topo II inhibitory drugs such as doxorubicin, etoposide and mitoxantrone to HCT15/CL02 cells were reduced about 8.5, 9.3 and 8.1 fold in the presence of 8.0 microM VER, respectively. From the results, we conclude that PSA has Topo II inhibitory activity, and its cytotoxicity to cancer cells is not so strongly affected by Pgp-associated MDR phenotype in comparison with some Topo II inhibitory anticancer drugs used in the clinic.

Abstract
Sophoraflavanone, kurarinone (GS08), norkurarinol (GS11), kurarinol (GS12) and kushenol K are cytotoxic flavonoids isolated from Sophora flavescens. In this study, we tested the cytotoxicity of those flavonoids to human cancer cells including P-glycoprotein (Pgp)-expressing HCT15 cells and its multidrug resistant subline, HCT15/CL02 cells. HCT15/CL02 cells revealed resistance to GS08, GS11 and GS12 about 2 fold in comparison with HCT15 cells. Nonetheless, verapamil, a Pgp inhibitor, could not increase the cytotoxicity of all the flavonoids tested. We also investigated that the flavonoids could modulate the Pgp action. At nontoxic concentrations, the flavonoids could not effect on the cytotoxicity of paclitaxel, a well-known Pgp-substrate. The flavonoids also had no effects on the accumulation of rhodamine 123 in all the cells tested at 10 microM. From the results, we concluded that Pgp had no effect on the cytotoxicity of the flavonoids, and the flavonoids also had no effect on the action of Pgp. Our results also suggested that HCT15/CL02 cells had additional mechanisms for drug resistance distinct from Pgp overexpression.

Abstract
Despite the impressive antitumor activity of cisplatin, two major limitations of the drug, that is severe side effects and drug-resistance of cancer cells, make its use difficult for cancer therapy. These limitations have resulted in a great deal of effort having been expended into structural modifications of cisplatin. In this study, we tested two novel cisplatin analogues, (CPA)2Pt [DOLYM] (COMP-I) and (DACH)Pt[DOLYM] (COMP-II), for the mode of cytotoxic action against human tumor cells comparing with cisplatin and carboplatin in vitro. These two novel analogues had considerable cytotoxic activities against five kinds of human solid tumor cells, and especially COMP-II was more effective on HCT15 colon cancer cells than other compounds. In addition, COMP-II had cytostatic activity at low concentrations (10-0.3 microgram/ml), but other compounds revealed little effect on tumor growth at the low concentration.
