Abstract excerpt
Multidrug resistance to amphipathic natural product chemotherapeutic drugs is conferred on cancer cells by expression of the MDR1 gene, which encodes the 170-kDa multidrug transporter known as P glycoprotein. The P glycoprotein-mediated efflux of toxic chemotherapeutic drugs can be reversed by ag...
