Transport of SN-38 by the wild type of human ABC transporter ABCG2 and its inhibition by quercetin, a natural flavonoid.

Abstract excerpt

Irinotecan (CPT-11) is a widely-used potent anticancer drug that inhibits mammalian DNA topoisomerase I, however overexpression of the ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCG2 can confer cancer cells resistance to SN-38, the active form of CPT-11. In the present study, we have examined the contribution of three variant forms of ABCG2 to SN-38 resistance. Exogenous expression of the Arg482 (wild type), Gly482, and...
