The phenomenon of multidrug resistance (MDR) in human cancers is one of the major causes of failure of chemotherapy. A recently identified new member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette transporters, breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), was demonstrated to confer an atypical multidrug-resistant phenotype to tumor cells. To overcome the BCRP-mediated drug resistance, a specific anti-BCRP hammerhead...
