Abstract excerpt
A decrease in the intracellular drug concentration in resistant cells as compared to sensitive cells is one of the characteristics of the MDR phenotype. P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is thought to be responsible for an active efflux of some lipophilic drugs such as anthracyclines. Anthracyclines such as daunomycin are highly effective anticancer agents but induce a well-described, while incompletely explained, cardiac...
