P-glycoprotein[1]
Reversin 121 specifically targets P-glycoprotein (P-gp, also known as ABCB1 or MDR1), an ATP-dependent efflux pump that exports a wide range of xenobiotics, including many anticancer drugs. It binds to the P-gp multidrug transporter with a Kd value of 77 nM and modulates P-gp ATPase activity. By competitively binding to P-gp, Reversin 121 inhibits its efflux function, leading to increased intracellular accumulation of chemotherapeutic agents. |

| ln Vitro |
When used in conjunction with gemcitabine, reversin 121 (12 μg/mL) decreases the percentage of tumor cells that express MDR proteins in Panc1 cells[1]. In paclitaxel-resistant NCI-H460 cells, reversin 121 (5 μM) reverses the resistance against paclitaxel[2]. Proliferation of T cells is inhibited by reversin 121 (10 μM, 48 h)[3].
In vitro, Reversin 121 binds to the P-gp multidrug transporter (MDR1) with a Kd value of 77 nM. It modulates P-glycoprotein ATPase activity in Sf9 insect cell membranes expressing human MDR1 and in plasma membrane vesicles from multidrug-resistant cancer cells. By blocking the function of P-gp, Reversin 121 increases the intracellular accumulation and retention of chemotherapeutic agents, thus restoring sensitivity in resistant cancer cells. Reversin 121 is reported to have little toxic side effects at concentrations effective for reversing MDR. |
| ln Vivo |
Tumor growth and metastasis prevalence are reduced by reversin 121 (2.5 mg/kg with 5-fluorouracil, 35 mg/kg/day, ip)[1].
In vivo, the addition of Reversin 121 to chemotherapy regimens has been shown to significantly reduce the proportion of pancreatic cancer cells expressing MDR proteins, leading to a reduction in tumor size and metastasis in experimental models. By reversing P-gp-mediated multidrug resistance, it enhances the efficacy of co-administered chemotherapeutic agents. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data for this specific compound across multiple tumor models requires further investigation. |
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro protocol for assessing P-gp inhibition by Reversin 121 involves a rhodamine-123 accumulation assay. Multidrug-resistant cancer cells (e.g., MCF-7/ADR or Caco-2) are seeded in 96-well plates at 1×10⁴ cells/well. After 24 hours, cells are pre-incubated with Reversin 121 at concentrations ranging from 0.1-50 uM for 30-60 minutes. Rhodamine-123 (a fluorescent P-gp substrate) is then added to a final concentration of 5 ug/mL. After 30-60 minutes of incubation, cells are washed twice with cold PBS, and the intracellular fluorescence is measured using a microplate reader (Ex/Em = 485/528 nm). Non-specific binding is determined using verapamil (10 uM) as a positive control.

| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cellular chemosensitization assays, multidrug-resistant cancer cells (e.g., MCF-7/ADR or pancreatic cancer cells overexpressing P-gp) are seeded in 96-well plates at 5×103 cells/well. After 24 hours, cells are treated with a combination of Reversin 121 (0.1-50 uM) and varying concentrations of a chemotherapeutic agent (e.g., paclitaxel, doxorubicin, or gemcitabine) for 48-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using the MTT assay or CellTiter-Glo reagent. The chemosensitization effect is quantified as the fold reversal of resistance, calculated by comparing the IC50 of the chemotherapeutic agent in the presence versus absence of Reversin 121.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Orthotopic pancreatic carcinoma mouse model[1].
Doses: 2.5 mg/ kg, plus 5-fluorouracil, 35 mg/kg/day Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection (ip), 5 days a week Experimental Results: diminished in MRP3-positive cells. An in vivo protocol for Reversin 121 uses a xenograft mouse model of human pancreatic cancer resistant to gemcitabine. Female athymic nude mice (6-8 weeks old) are inoculated subcutaneously with gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer cells (e.g., MIA PaCa-2-derived resistant clones). When tumors reach approximately 100 mm3, mice are randomized into groups. Reversin 121 is administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 10-20 mg/kg in 100-200 uL PBS, 30 minutes prior to gemcitabine injection (50 mg/kg, i.p.). Treatment is given daily or every other day for 14-21 days. Tumor volumes are measured with calipers twice weekly. At study termination, tumors are harvested for Western blot analysis of P-gp expression and immunohistochemistry for Ki-67. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Detailed pharmacokinetic data for Reversin 121 is not extensively published. As a peptide-based P-gp inhibitor, it is expected to have moderate metabolic stability and is typically administered intraperitoneally or intravenously for in vivo studies due to expected low oral bioavailability. The compound binds to P-gp with high affinity (Kd = 77 nM), but its own absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) parameters, including T1/2, Cmax, and AUC, have not been characterized in standard databases.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Reversin 121 is reported to have little toxic side effects at concentrations effective for reversing multidrug resistance (MDR). A Material Safety Data Sheet indicates potential hazards: strong acids/alkalis and strong oxidizing/reducing agents may cause decomposition, and under fire conditions, toxic fumes may be emitted. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound. As a peptide-based inhibitor, it is expected to have low systemic toxicity at therapeutic doses, but comprehensive toxicity studies (e.g., repeat-dose toxicity in rodents) have not been published.
