Abstract excerpt
The analysis of how human cancers evade chemotherapy has revealed a rich variety of cell-based genetic changes resulting in drug resistance. One of the best studied of these genetic alterations is increased expression of an ATP-dependent plasma membrane transport system, known as P-glycoprotein, or the multidrug transporter. This transporter actively effluxes a large number of natural product, hydrophobic,...
