Application

R(+)-Verapamil monohydrochloride hydrate has been used as a P-glycoprotein (gp) inhibitor, to detect P-gp expression on the SK-OV-3 and SK-OV-3/DDP cell surface by flow cytometry. It has also been used as a calcium channel blocker, to evaluate its effect on doxorubicin (DOX) cytotoxicity.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker. Verapamil hydrochloride is a phenyl-alkyl amine derivative and is potentially used for treating hypertension, angina pectoris and arrhythmias. It is water soluble in nature.
Inhibitor of P-glycoprotein; less active enantiomer of (±)-verapamil.

The L-isomer of verapamil is a more potent calcium antagonist than the D-isomer. We have examined the two stereoisomers of verapamil for their ability to increase the chemosensitivity in vitro of three drug resistant cell lines (2780AD, MCF7/AdrR and H69LX10).

Protein-based Drug Transport

Protein-based drug transporters are found in most tissues including liver, kidney, intestine, and brain. These transporters are particularly important in cancer treatment and multi-drug resistance research. Understanding the specific mechanisms of tumor cell transporters is becoming an essential aspect of chemotherapeutic drug design.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
