Biological Activity
Description of Tariquidar: Tariquidar is a P-glycoprotein inhibitor undergoing research as an adjuvant against multidrug resistance in cancer. Tariquidar non-competitively binds to the p-glycoprotein transporter, thereby inhibiting transmembrane transport of anticancer drugs. Inhibition of transmembrane transport may result in increased intracellular concentrations of an anticancer drug, thereby augmenting its cytotoxicity.

In Vitro
Tariquidar (XR9576) is a potent modulator of P-gp mediated [3H]-Vinblastine and [3H]-Paclitaxel transport as it increases the steady-state accumulation of these cytotoxics in CHrB30 cells to levels observed in non-P-gp-expressing AuxB1 cells (EC50=487±50 nM). [3H]-Tariquidar binds to CHrB30 membranes with the highest affinity (Kd=5.1±0.9 nM, n=7) and a binding capacity (Bmax) of 275±15 pmol/mg membrane protein. In contrast to the parental cell line, the accumulation of [3H]-Vinblastine is increased in a dose-dependent fashion by the modulators Tariquidar (EC50=487±50 nM). The MDR modulator Tariquidar is able to inhibit 60-70% of the vanadate-sensitive ATPase activity, with potent IC50 value of 43±9 nM[1]. Tariquidar (XR9576) potentiates the cytotoxicity of several drugs including Doxorubicin, Paclitaxel, Etoposide, and Vincristine; complete reversal of resistance is achieved in the presence of 25-80 nM XR9576. Tariquidar is a potent inhibitor of photoaffinity labeling of P-gp by [3H]Azidopine implying a direct interaction with the protein[2].
In Vivo
In mice bearing the intrinsically resistant MC26 colon tumors, coadministration of Tariquidar (XR9576) potentiates the antitumor activity of Doxorubicin without a significant increase in toxicity; maximum potentiation is observed at 2.5-4.0 mg/kg dosed either i.v. or p.o. In addition, coadministration of Tariquidar (6-12 mg/kg p.o.) fully restores the antitumor activity of Paclitaxel, Etoposide, and Vincristine against two highly resistant MDR human tumor xenografts (2780AD, H69/LX4) in nude mice. Tariquidar is found to also significantly potentiate the antitumor activity of doxorubicin against s.c. MC26 tumors in vivo[2].
