Potent and specific inhibition of the breast cancer resistance protein multidrug transporter in vitro and in mouse intestine by a novel analogue of fumitremorgin C.

TL;DR: A new tetracyclic analogue of FTC, Ko143, is evaluated as a practical inhibitor of BCRP, proving highly active for increasing the intracellular drug accumulation and reversing Bcrp1/BCRP-mediated multidrug resistance.

Toxins of cyanobacteria

TL;DR: Toxicity data on cyanotoxins are rather scarce, and a majority of toxicity data are known to be of microcystin-LR, while for nodularins, data from a few animal studies are available.

Simple indole alkaloids and those with a nonrearranged monoterpenoid unit

TL;DR: This review covers the literature on simple indole alkaloid and those with a nonrearranged monoterpenoid unit and newly isolated alkaloids, structure determinations, total syntheses and biological activities.
Journal Article

Fumitremorgin C reverses multidrug resistance in cells transfected with the breast cancer resistance protein.

TL;DR: It is reported that FTC almost completely reverses resistance mediated by BCRP in vitro and is a pharmacological probe for the expression and molecular action of this transporter.
