Product Description
Ko-143 (Ko143) is a novel and potent breast cancer resistance protein multidrug transporter (BCRP) inhibitor, or an ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 2 (ABCG2) inhibitor.


Ko143 (CAS#: 461054-93-3) is a potent inhibitor of the ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCG2 (breast cancer resistance protein). It is a nontoxic analogue of fumitremorgin C and has been widely used to inhibit ABCG2 activity in vitro and in vivo. However, its specificity for ABCG2 over other ABC transporters (ABCB1/P-glycoprotein and ABCC1/MRP1) has been unclear. This study systematically evaluated the selectivity of Ko143 using human and mouse cell lines overexpressing these transporters, and also assessed its stability in rat plasma and the activity of its hydrolytic metabolite. [1]
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets

EC90: 26 nM (BCRP)
ABCG2 (IC50 for inhibition of ATPase activity = 9.7 nM); ABCB1 (interacts at micromolar concentrations, ≥1 μM sensitizes cells to paclitaxel; stimulates ATPase with IC50 ~2.7 μM); ABCC1 (inhibited at micromolar concentrations, ≥1 μM sensitizes cells to doxorubicin). No precise IC50 values for inhibition of transport were reported for ABCB1 or ABCC1 in this study. [1]

ln Vitro
Ko143 (10 nM) dramatically lowers the IC50 of MTX on mouse G2 and HEK G2 cells by a factor of 2.5. ABC transporter function is not inhibited by Ko143 (1-100 μM) metabolites [1]. Ko143, an FTC analog, overcomes drug resistance in human IGROV1/T8 cells and mouse MEF3.8/T6400 cells chosen with SKF 104864A. At zero, one, or eight times the EC90 of 25 nM, Ko143 can be utilized [2]. In Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) 2-BCRP421CC (wild-type) and MDCK2-BCRP421AA (mutant) cells, Ko143 inhibits BCRP-mediated ZD 4522 trafficking [3].
Ko143 potently inhibited ABCG2-mediated efflux of fluorescent substrates (MTX, PPA, Hoechst 33342, JC-1, P-18) in human and mouse cells at nanomolar concentrations, with significant species differences for MTX, Hoechst, and P-18 (Table 3). In cytotoxicity assays, Ko143 at 10 nM significantly sensitized human ABCG2 cells to MTX (2.5-fold reduction in IC50, P<0.01) and mouse ABCG2 cells (P<0.001). At ≥1 μM, Ko143 sensitized human ABCB1 cells to paclitaxel (P<0.0001) and human ABCC1 cells to doxorubicin (P<0.001), and mouse ABCB1 cells to paclitaxel (P<0.01). Flow cytometry showed that Ko143 at 20–100 μM significantly increased accumulation of rh123 in ABCB1 cells and CAM in ABCC1 cells, confirming inhibition of these transporters at high concentrations. ATPase assays revealed that Ko143 inhibited ABCG2 ATPase (IC50 = 9.7 nM) but stimulated ABCB1 ATPase activity in a biphasic manner (peak stimulation at 10 μM, IC50 for stimulation ~2.7 μM). Radiolabeled [³H]Ko143 showed 2-fold higher accumulation in ABCG2-expressing cells than in parental cells, which was displaced by FTC or cold Ko143, indicating specific binding to ABCG2; no such effect was seen for ABCB1 or ABCC1 cells. The hydrolytic metabolite (Ko143 acid) had negligible inhibitory activity on all three transporters except weak inhibition of ABCG2 at 100 μM. Concentrations of Ko143 above 5 μM were cytotoxic to HEK cells after 72 h. [1]
ln Vivo
In mice, Ko143 (10 mg/kg, po) raises SKF 104864A's oral availability [2]. Ko143 has a major impact on ZD 4522's pharmacokinetics in rats [3].
In Vivo: In rats, intravenous administration of Ko143 (dose not specified in the text, but given as a pretreatment for 7 consecutive days, once daily? Actually the protocol says "Ko143 (intravenously)" given for 7 consecutive days, two times per day? The text: "group four and five were firstly given 80mg/kg of ursolic acid (orally) and Ko143 (intravenously, inhibitor of BCRP) respectively for 7 consecutive days, two times per day" - but dose of Ko143 is not stated. However, the pharmacokinetic results showed that pretreatment with Ko143 significantly increased Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0-∞ of rosuvastatin, and decreased CLz/F compared to rosuvastatin alone (all P<0.05). No significant effect on Tmax or T1/2. The data are presented in Table 2: Cmax 4.18±0.18 vs 2.23±0.22 mg/L; AUC0-t 62.72±6.34 vs 31.99±1.93 mg·L⁻¹·min⁻¹; AUC0-∞ 80.17±9.56 vs 40.92±3.10; CLz/F 0.25±0.03 vs 0.49±0.04 L·h⁻¹·kg⁻¹. [3]
Enzyme Assay
ATPase assays were performed using crude membranes isolated from Hi-five insect cells expressing human ABCG2 or ABCB1. Membrane vesicles were incubated in ATPase assay buffer (50 mM MES-Tris pH 6.8, 50 mM KCl, 5 mM sodium azide, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM ouabain, 10 mM MgCl₂, 2 mM dithiothreitol) with varying concentrations of Ko143 with or without beryllium fluoride (0.2 mM beryllium sulfate plus 2.5 mM NaF). ATP hydrolysis was measured by estimating inorganic phosphate release after incubation with 5 mM ATP, following a previously described method. Basal activity (without Ko143) was normalized to 100%, and percent change in activity was plotted against Ko143 concentration to determine IC50. For ABCG2, Ko143 decreased ATPase activity with an IC50 of 9.7 nM; for ABCB1, Ko143 stimulated ATPase activity with a biphasic response, reaching maximum stimulation at 10 μM (2-fold over basal) and an IC50 for stimulation of 2.7 μM. [1]
Cell Assay
cells are plated at 400 or 1000/well in 96-well plates the night before addition of drugs. A concentration series of drug is applied along one plate axis and left for the duration of the assay. Plates are harvested after 4-5 days while untreated wells are still subconfluent. Relative cell proliferation is quantified with CyQuant or Sybr Green I fluorescent nucleic acid stains. Assays with human cell lines are performed in the presence of 0.1 μm PSC833 to inhibit confounding P-gp activity.
Cytotoxicity assays: Cells were seeded at 4000 cells/well in 96-well plates. Serial dilutions of transporter-specific cytotoxic drugs (MTX for ABCG2, paclitaxel for ABCB1, doxorubicin for ABCC1) were added with or without Ko143 at various concentrations. After 72 h, cell viability was measured using the CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay, and IC50 values for the cytotoxic drugs were calculated. Resistance ratios (RR) were determined by dividing IC50 of resistant cells by that of parental cells. Flow cytometry: Cells were suspended in media containing fluorescent substrates (MTX, PPA, Hoechst 33342, JC-1, or P-18 for ABCG2; rh123 for ABCB1; calcein-AM for ABCC1) with or without Ko143 or positive control inhibitors (FTC for ABCG2, cyclosporin A for ABCB1, MK571 for ABCC1). After incubation at 37°C for 30–45 min, cells were washed and analyzed on a flow cytometer; geometric mean fluorescence intensity was recorded for 10,000 cells per sample. Accumulation of [³H]Ko143: Cells were incubated with [³H]Ko143 for up to 45 min, with or without transporter inhibitors (FTC, Ko143, DCPQ, or MK571). After washing and trypsinization, radioactivity was measured by liquid scintillation counting and normalized to cell count. [1]
Animal Protocol
Animal Protocol: Sprague-Dawley rats (260-280 g) were randomly divided into groups (n=6). In the Ko143 treatment group, rats received Ko143 intravenously for 7 consecutive days, twice per day (exact dose not specified). On the 7th day, after Ko143 injection, rosuvastatin (50 mg/kg) was orally administered. Blood samples were collected from the femoral artery at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours post-dose. Plasma was separated and stored at -20°C until analysis. Rosuvastatin concentrations were determined by LC-MS with pitavastatin as internal standard. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using DAS 2.0 software. [3]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
In rat plasma, Ko143 was rapidly hydrolyzed with a half-life of approximately 12 minutes at room temperature, and no parent compound remained after 60 minutes. The addition of the esterase inhibitor sodium fluoride (NaF) completely prevented hydrolysis, indicating enzymatic degradation. Ko143 acid (the hydrolytic metabolite) showed negligible inhibitory activity on ABCG2, ABCB1, or ABCC1 except weak ABCG2 inhibition at 100 μM. Plasma protein binding of Ko143 is reported to be 92–95% (from literature, not measured in this study). [1]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Ko143 exhibited cytotoxicity at concentrations greater than 5 μM in HEK-293 cells after 72-hour incubation. No other toxicity data (e.g., in vivo) were reported. [1]

Additional Infomation
LSM-6260 is a β-carboline compound, belonging to the tert-butyl ester class.
Ko143 is a tert-butyl ester and is rapidly hydrolyzed by plasma esterases to its carboxylic acid metabolite, which is inactive. Despite being a potent ABCG2 inhibitor at nanomolar concentrations, it lacks specificity for ABCG2 at higher micromolar concentrations, also inhibiting ABCB1 and ABCC1. This non-selectivity should be considered when using Ko143 in both in vitro and in vivo experiments, especially for PET imaging studies where high local concentrations may occur. The study emphasizes the need for a specific ABCG2 substrate or inhibitor for reliable imaging of transporter function. [1]
