Description:
Biricodar (VX-710) is a multidrug resistance (MDR) modulator that targets two key drug efflux transporters: P-glycoprotein (Pgp) and multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP-1). These transporters are often overexpressed in cancer cells and contribute to multidrug resistance (MDR) by pumping chemotherapeutic drugs out of the cells, reducing their intracellular concentration and efficacy. Biricodar inhibits the function of Pgp and MRP-1, effectively chemosensitizing multidrug-resistant cancer cells and enhancing the effectiveness of chemotherapy agents. Its ability to reverse MDR makes it a promising candidate for improving cancer treatment outcomes.
Handling:
Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
