Abstract
To evade the problem of multidrug resistance, hybridization of natural products in dimers is considered as an effective method. After the successful synthesis of three artesunic acid homodimers connected by different types of chemical linkers, we analyzed their activity against human CCRF-CEM and multidrug-resistant P-glycoprotein-overexpressing CEM/ADR 5000 leukemia cells and observed, that multidrug resistant cells were not cross-resistant to the new compounds. Collateral sensitivity was observed for artesunic acid homodimer 2. The obtained results deliver valuable information about the linker's structure which is required for homodimers to be highly cytotoxic.Entities:
