Selective enhancement of vincristine cytotoxicity in multidrug-resistant tumor cells by dilantin (phenytoin)

Abstract excerpt

Tumor cell resistance to chemotherapeutic agents of diverse structure and mechanism of action is thought to be due to efflux of drug by P-glycoprotein, which is overexpressed in tumor cells with the multidrug-resistant phenotype. Agents generally associated with the multidrug-resistant phenotype include inhibitors of topoisomerase II, e.g., doxorubicin, etoposide, and the microtubule poisons such as vinblastine,...
