Worldwide. Cancer is the most terrified disease and major cause of death. Every year approximately, 1.6 million new cases of cancer are being diagnosed worldwide and extensive research efforts are in going on for finding a cure to this life-threatening disease. Till date several thousand synthetic compounds and numerous natural products have been evaluated biologically as anticancer agents. The main disappointment of cancer treatment is multidrug resistance (MDR) which is linked with the over expression of certain protein transporters of ATP binding cassette (ABC). Among 48 ABC transporters, p-glycoprotein (p-gp), multidrug resistance protein 1(MDRP1), breast cancer resistance proteins (BCRP) are efflux transporters which are mainly associated with MDR. ABCG2/ BCRP is supposed to have importance in protection from regulating oral bioavailability, xenobiotics, and also known to have role in forming part of blood-testis barrier, blood-brain barrier and maternal-fetal barrier. BCRPs also expressed in stem cells, where it acts a role in protecting from xenobiotics. Due to broad substrate selectivity of BCRP, it might also impact the pharmacokinectics of many other unrelated drug including anti-HIV drugs, anticancer and endogenous compounds Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) is an ABC-transporter which is present in luminal layer of epithelial cells of intestine that limits absorption of many of drugs such as methotrexate, topotecan, mitoxantrone and doxorubicin (anticancers).In this review we want to present the role of BCRP in failure of chemotherapy and its inhibitors for the reversal of MDR. The main theme of the article will be BCRP inhibitors: An upcoming strategy for cancer treatment.
