Enhanced Activity of P4503A4 and UGT1A10 Induced by Acridinone Derivatives C-1305 and C-1311 in MCF-7 and HCT116 Cancer Cells: Consequences for the Drugs’ Cytotoxicity, Metabolism and Cellular Response

Activity modulation of drug metabolism enzymes can change the biotransformation of chemotherapeutics and cellular responses induced by them. As a result, drug-drug interactions can be modified. Acridinone derivatives, represented here by C-1305 and C-1311, are potent anticancer drugs. Previous studi...

description Activity modulation of drug metabolism enzymes can change the biotransformation of chemotherapeutics and cellular responses induced by them. As a result, drug-drug interactions can be modified. Acridinone derivatives, represented here by C-1305 and C-1311, are potent anticancer drugs. Previous studies in non-cellular systems showed that they are mechanism-based inhibitors of cytochrome P4503A4 and undergo glucuronidation via UDP-glucuronosyltranspherase 1A10 isoenzyme (UGT1A10). Therefore, we investigated the potency of these compounds to modulate P4503A4 and UGT1A10 activity in breast MCF-7 and colon HCT116 cancer cells and their influence on cytotoxicity and cellular response in cells with different expression levels of studied isoenzymes. We show that C-1305 and C-1311 are inducers of not only P4503A4 but also UGT1A10 activity. MCF-7 and HCT116 cells with high P4503A4 activity are more sensitive to acridinone derivatives and undergo apoptosis/necrosis to a greater extent. UGT1A10 was demonstrated to be responsible for C-1305 and C-1311 glucuronidation in cancer cells and glucuronide products were excreted outside the cell very fast. Finally, we show that glucuronidation of C-1305 antitumor agent enhances its pro-apoptotic properties in HCT116 cells, while the cytotoxicity and cellular response induced by C-1311 did not change after drug glucuronidation in both cell lines.
