“…Chemotherapy agents that are weakly basic can also become protonated in an acidic environment, preventing their entry into cells to reach their target sites (70,83). The ability to modulate microenvironmental pH has the potential to curb the development of a metastatic cell phenotype as well as provide a means to avoid the development of multi-drug resistance, at least in the case of weakly basic chemotherapy agents.…”

“…Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancerrelated death in men and women worldwide (causing 19.4% of all cancer-related death). Chemotherapy is the most widely used method of treating lung cancer followed by radiotherapy and surgery (usually for early stages).…”

“…Chemoresistance is one of the biggest challenges in cancer therapy. There are several factors of anti-cancer drug resistance, such as impaired drug uptake, increased drug efflux, deletion of receptors, altered drug metabolism, quantitative and qualitative alterations in drug targets, increased DNA damage repair and various mechanisms of anti-apoptosis (Taylor et al, 2015). In addition, recent studies showed that another reason of the chemoresistance is the highly acidic microenvironment of tumors.…”

“…In addition, recent studies showed that another reason of the chemoresistance is the highly acidic microenvironment of tumors. Almost all anti-cancer drugs are weak bases and they are quickly protonated and neutralized in this acidic environment (Daniel et al, 2013;Taylor et al, 2015;Walsh et al, 2015;Chueca et al, 2016). In this frame, to be provide the increased pH of the tumor microenvironment may be a good strategy and PPIs may be used for buffering the acidic pH and enhancing tumor chemosensitivity (Daniel et al, 2013;Spugnini et al, 2011;Taylor et al, 2015;Walsh et al, 2015;Chueca et al, 2016).…”
