Abstract excerpt
The correlation between vincristine cellular pharmacokinetics and its biological action was analyzed in L5178Y cells and in a multidrug resistant subline (VCR/G40) at the nM drug concentration range attained in serum during the clinical use of the drug. The reduced rate of drug influx and the higher drug efflux measured in VCR/G40 cells justify the lower drug accumulation characterized in these cells compared to...
