Taking together the IC50 values and the CS effect, compounds 8, 15, and 16 exhibited the best results. Epoxyboetirane P (8), with the strongest MDR-selective antiproliferative activity against gastric carcinoma EPG85-257RDB cells (IC50 of 0.72 µM), being 10-fold more active against this resistant subline than in sensitive gastric carcinoma cells. The CS effect elicited by compounds 15 and 16 appeared to be by inducing apoptosis via caspase-3 activation. Structure-activity relationships of the compounds were additionally obtained through regression models to clarify the structural determinants associated to the CS effect. Conclusions This study reinforces the importance of lathyrane-type diterpenes as lead molecules for the research of MDR-modifying agents.Background Vascular leakage is a common complication of hemorrhagic shock. Endothelial glycocalyx plays a crucial role in the protection of vascular endothelial barrier function. Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) is a commonly used resuscitation fluid for hemorrhagic shock. However, whether the protective effect of HES on vascular permeability after hemorrhagic shock is associated with the endothelial glycocalyx is unclear. Methods Using hemorrhagic shock rat model and hypoxia treated vascular endothelial cells (VECs), effects of HES (130/0.4) on pulmonary vascular permeability and the relationship to endothelial glycocalyx were observed. Results Pulmonary vascular permeability was significantly increased after hemorrhagic shock, as evidenced by the increased permeability of pulmonary vessels to albumin-fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugate (FITC-BSA) and Evans blue, the decreased transendothelial electrical resistance of VECs and the increased transmittance of FITC-BSA. The structure of the endothelial glycoca
