  • ND, not determined.

  • a The resistance of HEK293 cell lines expressing wild-type and mutant MRP1 proteins was determined using an MTT assay and relative resistance factors calculated by dividing the IC50 values obtained for the MRP1-expressing cells by the IC50 values obtained for control untransfected cells. Values shown are the mean (± S.D.) obtained from three independent experiments, except for Na+ arsenite and K+ antimony tartrate where the values from two independent experiments are shown.

  • b The asterisks indicate the IC50 of mutant MRP1 proteins that are significantly different from the IC50 of wild-type MRP1 (*P < 0.05;** P < 0.005; *** P < 0.001) (t test).
