General description

Chemical structure: indol derivative

Application

Fumitremorgin C has been used as adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette superfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) inhibitor to study its effects on the cell viability of mouse neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs). It has also been used as an ABCG2 inhibitor to study its effects on lung cancer cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fumitremorgin C (FTC) is a fungal toxin of the diketopiperazines family of compounds. In mammalian cells, FTC is tremorgenic and causes cell cycle arrest. Fumitremorgin C has been shown to reverse resistance to doxorubicin, mitoxantrane, and topotecan in non-Pgp (P-glyco­protein), non-MRP (multidrug resistance protein) multidrug-resistance (MDR) cells. This reversal of resistance is associated with an increase in drug accumulation. Fumitremorgin C is a specific, selective, and potent inhibitor at micromolar concentrations of the breast cancer resistant protein (BCRP/ABCG2), an ABC transporter associated with chemotherapy resistance. FTC, in combination with mitoxantrone, can be used for the detection of ABCG2 functional activity in several cell lines.
