While these infections are mainly found after a miscarriage or an abortion, the diagnosis is sometimes made while the pregnancy is still in progress. The clinical history and symptoms reported by the patient lead to the suspicion of such a complication.

P-glycoprotein modulates oleanolic acid effects in hepatocytes cancer cells and zebrafish embryos.

Oleanolic acid (OA) is a triterpenoid, widely found in plants and possesses antitumor activity in many cancer lines. However, cancer cells develop multidrug resistance (mdr) hindering the effect of anticancer drugs. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a major cause of mdr.
