PDE5 inhibitors, ---------- and ----------, reverse multidrug resistance by inhibiting the efflux function of MRP7 (ABCC10) transporter
Fri, 11 May 2012 04:00:00 +0100 | Cancer Science
SummaryPhosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors are widely used in the treatment of male erectile dysfunction and in improving the breathing efficiency in pulmonary hypertension. Recently, several groups have evaluated the ability of PDE5 inhibitors for their anticancer activities. Previously, we have shown that ----------, ---------- and --------- could reverse P‐glycoprotein (P‐gp, ABCB1)‐mediated multidrug resistance (MDR). In the present study, we determined whether these PDE5 inhibitors have the potential to reverse multidrug resistance protein 7 (MRP7, ABCC10)‐mediated MDR. We found that ---------- and ---------- dose‐dependently enhanced the sensitivity of MRP7‐transfected HEK293 cells to paclitaxel, docetaxel and vinblastine, while --------- had only minimal effect.
