PGP-4008

Description

PGP-4008 is a selective inhibitor of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) that does not affect the activity of multidrug resistance-related protein 1 (MRP1). It is effective in vitro and, when delivered intraperitoneally, in vivo, inhibiting tumor growth when given with doxorubicin . PGP-4008 also enhances the ability of docetaxel to inhibit growth and drive apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells.

Uses

PGP-4008 is a specific P-glycoprotein (Pgp) inhibitor. PGP-4008 inhibits tumor growth in a murine syngeneic Pgp-mediated multiple agent resistance (MDR) solid tumor model when given in combination with Doxorubicin[1].
