Molecular Docking Characterizes Substrate-Binding Sites and Efflux Modulation Mechanisms within P-Glycoprotein
P-Glycoprotein (Pgp) is one of the best characterized ABC transporters, often involved in the multidrug-resistance phenotype overexpressed by several cancer cell lines. Experimental studies contributed to important knowledge concerning substrate polyspecificity, efflux mechanism, and drug-binding sites. This information is, however, scattered through different perspectives, not existing a unify...
متن کاملModulation of drug-stimulated ATPase activity of human MDR1/P-glycoprotein by cholesterol.
MDR1 (multidrug resistance 1)/P-glycoprotein is an ATP-driven transporter which excretes a wide variety of structurally unrelated hydrophobic compounds from cells. It is suggested that drugs bind to MDR1 directly from the lipid bilayer and that cholesterol in the bilayer also interacts with MDR1. However, the effects of cholesterol on drug-MDR1 interactions are still unclear. To examine these e...
متن کاملModulation of P-glycoprotein by Zosuquidar Trihydrochloride
P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a major contributor in multidrug resistance (MDR), is a cell surface drug efflux pump restricting the intracellular accumulation of many agents used in cancer chemotherapy leading to treatment failure. Over expression of P-gp is a significant indicator of poor outcome in cancer including acute myelogenous leukaemia (AML). In addition to its primary drug efflux role, P-gp...
متن کاملMechanisms of P-Glycoprotein Modulation by Semen Strychni Combined with Radix Paeoniae Alba
Semen Strychni has been extensively used as a Chinese herb, but its therapeutic window is narrowed by the strong toxicity of the compound, which limits its effectiveness. Radix Paeoniae Alba has been reported to reduce the toxic effects and increase the therapeutic effects of Semen Strychni, but the underlying mechanism remains unknown. This research aimed to explore the mechanism through which...
متن کاملModulation of P-glycoprotein expression in hyperthyroid rat tissues.
P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is expressed in various normal tissues and plays an important role in drug absorption and disposition. In addition, it is supposed that alterations in the expression levels of Pgp are involved in the inter- and intraindividual variability of pharmacokinetics of many drugs. Since pharmacokinetic properties of various drugs are altered in patients with thyroid disorders, we e...
