Modulation of ABCG2 Transporter Activity by Ko143 Derivatives.

ABSTRACT: ABCG2 is a multidrug transporter that protects tissues from xenobiotics, affects drug pharmacokinetics, and contributes to multidrug resistance of cancer cells. Here, we present tetracyclic fumitremorgin C analog Ko143 derivatives, evaluate their in vitro modulation of purified ABCG2, and report four high-resolution cryo-EM structures and computational analyses to elucidate their interactions with ABCG2. We found that Ko143 derivatives that are based on a ring-opened scaffold no longer inhibit ABCG2-mediated transport activity. In contrast, closed-ring, tetracyclic analogs were highly potent inhibitors. Strikingly, the least potent of these compounds, MZ82, bound deeper into the central ABCG2 cavity than the other inhibitors and it led to partial closure of the transmembrane domains
