Effect of verapamil on the pharmacokinetics of hydroxycamptothecin and its potential mechanism
Context Hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) has antitumor activity in various cancers, but its poor bioavailability and efflux limit its clinical application. Verapamil has been demonstrated to improve the bioavailability of many drugs.

Mechanism Underlying the Reversal of Drug Resistance in P-Glycoprotein-Expressing Leukemia Cells by Pinoresinol and the Study of a Derivative [PDF]
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a membrane protein associated with multidrug resistance (MDR) due to its key role in mediating the traffic of chemotherapeutic drugs outside cancer cells, leading to a cellular response that hinders efforts toward successful ...

Verapamil and beta cell function in adults with recent-onset type 1 diabetes
Pancreatic beta cell loss is a key factor in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D), but therapies to halt this process are lacking. We previously reported that the approved antihypertensive calcium-channel blocker verapamil, by decreasing the ...

Kinetic Aspects of Verapamil Binding (On-Rate) on Wild-Type and Six hKv1.3 Mutant Channels
Background/Aims: The human-voltage gated Kv1.3 channel (hKv1.3) is expressed in T- and B lymphocytes. Verapamil is able to block hKv1.3 channels. We characterized the effect of verapamil on currents through hKv1.3 channels paying special attention to the

Influence of Water Temperature on the MXR Activity and P-glycoprotein Expression in the Freshwater Snail, Physa acuta (Draparnaud, 1805) [PDF]
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) mediated multixenobioticresistance (MXR) is a mechanism analogous to multidrug resistance, which has been extensivelycharacterized in mammalian tumours.
