There is apparently a structure-activity relationship between the antiproliferative multidrug resistance-reversing effect and the chemical structure of the 3-formylchromones. The total polar surface areas and the ground state dipole moments of the molecules are presumed to play a key role in the multidrug resistance-reversing effect. The log P values can provide an adequate explanation for the selective cytotoxicity against cancer cells. Copyright © 2006 International Institute of Anticancer Research (Dr. John G.
