Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that efflux of cytotoxic drugs from multidrug resistant (MDR) cell lines can be quantitated at the single cell level using a sensitive fluorescence microscopy technique. Based on the structure of compounds which inhibited the efflux of Rhodamine-123 (Rho-123) using this methodology, we hypothesized that the antiemetic, antihistaminic agent benzquinamide (BZQ) would interfere with...
