“…In 1987, it was first detected in human KB carcinoma cells where its overexpression was found to be associated with cellular resistance to a wide range of anticancer drugs including colchincine, vinblastine, and doxorubicin (Ueda et al, 1987). Since then, researchers have compiled a myriad of research reports on the key role of p-gp in MDR (Bhardwaj et al, 2002;Eid et al, 2013;Molnar et al, 2010;Nabekura et al, 2008a;Nabekura et al, 2008b;Perestelo et al, 2011;Yang et al, 2014). It has become an established fact now that p-gp mediates MDR by actively transporting a wide range of anticancer drugs including paclitaxel, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, vinca alkaloids and eteposide (Zhang et al, 2003;Yoshida et al, 2005;Ferreira et al, 2006;Nabekura, 2010a;Yang et al, 2014).…”
