    Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major limiting factor in the development and application of drug candidates. MDR caused by MRP-1 is known to be modulated by the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug indomethacin. We have synthesized and biologically evaluated a library of indomethacin analogues. The indomethacin-derived compound library was synthesized employing the Fischer−indole synthesis as the key transformation and making use of a “resin-capture-release” strategy. Sixty representative members of the library were evaluated in a cell biological cytotoxicity assay employing the MRP-1 expressing human glioblastoma cell line T98G as a model system. Nine of the 60 tested derivatives increased the doxorubicin-mediated cytotoxicity at a comparable or higher level than indomethacin itself. Analysis of these derivatives revealed an interesting structure−function relationship. Most remarkably, two substances increased the toxicity, when doxorubicin was used at clinically relevant low concentrations, at a higher degree than indomethacin.
