Abstract: Benzofuran-isatin conjugates are considered as promising compounds in cancer prevention and treatment. However, it is not known yet whether these compounds are useful to effectively treat multidrug-resistant tumors. In this study, we investigated the activity of G-5e, a novel benzofuran-isatin conjugate in a panel of cell lines exhibiting well-known drug resistance mechanisms (P-gp, BCRP, TP53, EGFR). P-glycoprotein overexpressing CEM/ADR5000 cell line displayed notable hypersensitivity (collateral sensitivity) to G-5e, which was mediated through autophagic cell death activation including downregulation of the autophagy suppressor RND2, upregulation of the autophagy inducer LC3B, and G0/G1 phase arrest during cell cycle progression. Independent of collateral sensitivity, transcriptomic analyses also revealed that G-5e caused downregulation of NF-κB and ERK1/2 pathways. Our findings highlight the potential of benzofuran-isatin conjugates to combat multidrug resistance and the role of RND2 for collateral sensitivity.
