Abstract excerpt
The possibility that simple lipophilic cations such as tetraphenylphosphonium (TPA+), triphenylmethylphosphonium (TPMP+), and diphenyldimethylphosphonium (DDP+) are substrates for the multidrug-resistance transport protein, P-glycoprotein, was tested. Hamster cells transfected with and overexpressing mouse mdr1 or mouse mdr3 exhibit high levels of resistance to TPP+ and TPA+ (20-fold) and somewhat lower levels of...
