Biochemical and clinical aspects of efflux pump related resistance to anti-cancer drugs

A Aszalos et al. Anticancer Res. 1998 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

This review paper will focus on the molecular biological, biochemical and biophysical aspects of the following three efflux pumps: P-glycoprotein (Pgp), Multidrug Resistance Protein (MRP) and Lung cancer Resistance-related Protein. Since suppression of the function of these pumps has clinical implications, novel approaches developed in our laboratory for blocking the function of Pgp and MRP are also discussed. The second part of this review will summarize the clinical significance and the results of clinical trials designed to suppress the effects of these efflux pumps.
