In vitro proliferation and drug sensitivity experiments of human small cell lung cancer SBC-3/ADM and SBC-3 cells, Dofequidar showed that 3-10 μM could completely reverse the multidrug resistance of SBC-3/ADM cells to Etoposide (VP-16) Adriamycin, and Vincristine, with little effect on the sensitivity of SBC-3 cells [1].
In the experimental analysis of P-gp expression in human small cell lung cancer SBC-3/ADM and SBC-3 cells, Dofequidar did not alter the expression of P-gp in SBC-3 cells, while SBC-3/ADM cells themselves expressed P-gp [1].
In SP cell sorting experiments of various cancer cell lines, Dofequidar reduced the proportion of side group (SP) cells in a dose-dependent manner [2].
Dofequidar increased the intracellular concentration of ABCC1 ⁄ MDR related protein (MRP) in K562/BCRP cells during intracellular drug accumulation experiments [2].
