THERAPEUTIC CLASS
Overview of P-glycoprotein inhibitors: a rational outlook
P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a transmembrane permeability glycoprotein, is a member of ATP binding cassette
(ABC) super family that functions specifically as a carrier mediated primary active efflux transporter. It
is widely distributed throughout the body and has a diverse range of substrates. Several vital therapeutic agents are substrates to P-gp and their bioavailability is lowered or a resistance is induced because of the protein efflux.
