  • DMSO, dimethyl sulfoxide.

  • a The values represent the mean ± S.D. of three independent experiments performed in triplicate.

  • b Relative resistance values (in parentheses) were obtained by dividing the IC50 value of the P-gp-HEK cells by the IC50 value of the empty vector pcDNA3.1-transfected HEK cell line.
