The ability of a number of flavonoids to induce glutathione (GSH) depletion was measured in lung (A549), myeloid (HL-60), and prostate (PC-3) human tumor cells. The hydroxychalcone (2'-HC) and the dilrydroxychalcones (2',2-, 2',3-, 2,4-, and 2',5-DHC) were the most effective in A549 and HL-60 cells, depleting more than 50% of intracellular GSH within 4 h of exposure at 25 mu M. In contrast, the flavones chrysin and apigenin were the most effective in PC-3 cells, depleting 50-70% of intracellular GSH within 24 h of exposure at 25 mu M. In general, these flavonoids were more effective than three classical substrates of multidrug resistance protein 1 (MK-571, indomethacin, and verapamil). Prototypic flavonoids (2',5-DHC and chrysin) were subsequently tested for their abilities to potentiate the toxicities of prooxidants (etoposide, rotenone, 2-methoxyestradiol, and curcumin). In A549 cells, 2',5'-DHC potentiated the cytotoxicities of rotenone, 2-methoxyestradiol, and curcumin, but not etoposide. In HL-60 and PC-3 cells, chrysin potentiated the cytotoxicity of curcumin, cytotoxicity that was attenuated by the catalytic antioxidant manganese(III) meso-tetrakis(N-ethylpyridinium-2-yl)porphyrin (MnTE-2-PyP). Assessments of mitochondrial GSH levels mitochondrial membrane potential and cytochrome c release showed that the potentiation effects induced by 2,5'-DHC and chrysin involve mitochondrial dysfunction.
