Abstract

Pathogens that express resistance to multiple drugs are becoming the norm, complicating treatment and increasing human morbidity. Acylsugars or resin glycosides from the morning glory family (Convolvulaceae) are amphipathic modulators of the efflux pumps responsible for the drug-resistant phenotype in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. These inhibitory effects could be used to overcome the acquired resistance to common anticancer or antimicrobial drugs by lowering the current effective therapeutic doses, thus decreasing toxic side-effects in refractory malignancies. Active chemosensitizers identified by in vitro screening methods have demonstrated the therapeutic potential of resin glycosides for further exploration as coadjuvants to avoid drug resistance and restore the clinical utility of chemotherapy in treating infections and cancer. To date, more than 20 resin glycosides have been documented as inhibitors or modulators of efflux pumps, mainly isolated from species of the genus Ipomoea. Resin glycosides have shown the ideal structural features associated with multidrug-resistant efflux pump substrates. An overview is given to the acylsugar diversity and their amphiphilicity properties for bioactivity as leads of efflux pump inhibitors for drug development.
