A 30312 is a biochemical that may specifically overcome multidrug resistance without the serious hypotensive effects associated with calcium antagonists. It is a fused indole that has been found to overcome multidrug resistance in P388/Adr cells in vitro. It potentiates the cytotoxicity of the antitumor drugs Adriamycin, vinblastine, and vincristine in multidrug-resistant cells with no effect on drug-sensitive parent P388 cells. | [Uses]
A-30312 is a compound that can overcome multidrug resistance and has the activity of reversing multidrug resistance. A-30312 can enhance the cytotoxicity of antitumor compounds in multidrug-resistant cells, increase the accumulation of compounds in cells, inhibit the efflux of compounds, and compared with calcium antagonists, it has no serious hypotensive effect. Its activity may be unrelated to the ability to block calcium transport. | [References]
