Designing potent inhibitors against the multidrug resistance P-glycoprotein.

The multidrug transporter P-glycoprotein is an ATP binding cassette (ABC) exporter responsible for resistance to tumor cells during chemotherapy. This study was designed with computational approaches aimed at identifying the best potent inhibitors of P-glycoprotein. Although many compounds have been suggested to inhibit P-glycoprotein, however, their information on bioavailability, selectivity, ADMET properties, and molecular interactions has not been revealed.
