Application

Elacridar has been used:
  • as a chemical to decipher the link between autophagy and the mechanism of resistance to sunitinib
  • as an ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 1 inhibitor to study its effects on the NSC23766 cytotoxicity
  • to treat rhodamine 123 (Rh123) labeled cells to set sorting gates in fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)

Biochem/physiol Actions

GF120918 (Elacridar) is a very potent inhibitor of the ABC transporters MDR-1 (P-gp) and BCRP. GF120918 increases the bioavailability of cytotoxic anti-tumor drugs, and also leads to increased levels of anti-HIV drugs in the brain and CNS.

One important mechanism for chemoresistance of tumours is overexpression of the adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter P-glycoprotein (Pgp). Pgp reduces intracellular concentrations of chemotherapeutic drugs. The aim of this study was to compare the suitability of the radiolabelled Pgp inhibitors [(11)C]tariquidar
