Palmatine sensitizes chemoresistant triple negative breast cancer cells via efflux inhibition of multidrug resistant protein 1.

Chemoresistance develops in triple negative breast cancer cells during prolonged therapy with chemotherapeutic drugs, diminishing the benefits of these drugs in breast cancer patients. Palmatine, a natural alkaloid extracted from several medicinal plants in West Africa, has been studied in vitro and...
