TABLE 1

Effect of dLop and Lop on the cytotoxicity of drugs preferentially effluxed by P-gp, Mrp1, and BCRP

IC50 values are mean ± S.D. from three independent experiments.

  • RR, resistance ratio, which is the quotient of the IC50 value of the resistant cell line to that of the parental line.

  • * P < 0.001 (α = 0.05, from initial IC50 value of resistant cell line) by Student's two-tailed t-test.

  • P > 0.18.
