Targeting P-glycoprotein: Investigation of piperine analogs for overcoming drug resistance in cancer
Abstract P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a drug transporter that effluxes chemotherapeutic drugs and is implicated in the development of resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs. To date, no drug has been approved to inhibit P-gp and restore chemotherapy efficacy. Moreover, majority of the repo...
