Facilely accessible multidrug resistance modulator derived from sucrose

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2002 Nov 18;12(22):3267-70. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(02)00702-3.

Abstract

Exploration for new MDR-modulators utilizing atractysucroses as scaffolds disclosed 2,3,4,3',4'-O-pentaisovalerylsucrose (9) as a readily accessible medicinal lead. This lead was prepared from sucrose in 65% total yield for three steps. In addition, compound 9 exhibited more potent MDR modulating activity than verapamil, a representative modulator of MDR mediated by P-gp.
