Unknown Manufacturer
Tariquidar is an anthranilic acid derivative third generation P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors. P-gp is a transport protein found in normal cells that has many trasport and modulatory functions, from affecting the distribution and bioavailability of drugs to mediating the migration of dendritic cells. P-gp is responsible for multidrug resistance through transport of anti-cancer drugs out of their target cells. It is proposed that tariquidar's and its derivatives may bind to the H-binding site of P-gp through multiple mechanisms of binding.
Investigated for use/treatment in ovarian cancer, lung cancer, and breast cancer.
