title: Synthesis and in vitro multidrug resistance modulating activity of a series of dihydrobenzopyrans and tetrahydroquinolines.
abstract: A series of dihydrobenzopyrans and tetrahydroquinolines was synthesized and pharmacologically tested for their ability to inhibit P-glycoprotein mediated daunomycin efflux in multidrug resistant CCRF-CEM vcr1000 cells. Several compounds exhibit activities in the range of the reference compounds verapamil and propafenone. Preliminary structure-activity relationship studies propose the importance of high molar refractivity values of the compounds and the presence of an additional basic nitrogen atom.
