Since virtually all patients who die of metastatic cancer have multidrug-resistant tumors, improved treatment will require an understanding of the mechanisms of resistance to design therapies that circumvent these mechanisms, exploit these mechanisms, or inactivate these multidrug resistance mechanisms. One example of a resistance mechanism is the expression of ATP-binding cassette efflux pumps, but unfortunately, inhibition of these transporters has not proved to be the solution to overcome multidrug resistance in cancer. Other mechanisms that confer multidrug resistance, and the confluence of multiple different mechanisms (multifactorial multidrug resistance) have been identified, and it is the goal of this Special Collection to expand this catalog of potential multidrug resistance mechanisms, to explore novel ways to overcome resistance, and to present thoughtful reviews on the problem of multidrug resistance in cancer.展开更多

The result shows that the PEG-(NH4)2SO4 aqueous two-phase system has potential ex-traction capability in small molecular drug separation. In PEG800-(NH4)2SO4 system, the extraction efficiencies (E) of CPZ, PCN and PCNA amount to 92.8%, 74.5% and 74.4%, respectively, with the distribution coefficients (KD) being 25.7, 5.9 and 5.8, correspondingly. In PEG1500-(NH4)2SO4 system, the extraction efficiencies (E) of CPZ, PCN and PCNA are 93.7%, 71.3% and 63.2%, respectively, with distribution coefficients (KD) of 39.6, 6.6 and 5.0, correspondingly. Based on the study on ultraviolet and fluorescence spectra and also distribution behavior of the drugs in PEG-(NH4)2SO4 aqueous two-phase system, extraction mechanism was further proposed that both hydro-gen bond and hydrophobic interaction are involved in extraction.展开更多
