Abstract
Multiple resistance to cytotoxic cancer drugs dramatically reduces the effectiveness of these drugs on many occasions. ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporters pump out cytotoxic cancer drugs from cells, preventing them from reaching therapeutic levels. However, co-administration ABC transporter inhibitors with cytotoxic cancer drugs did not effectively improve the treatment outcome. The mechanisms and remedies are discussed.Entities:
