Title: New taxanes as highly efficient reversal agents for multidrug resistance in cancer cells.

Authors: Ojima I, Bounaud PY, Takeuchi C, Pera P, Bernacki RJ.

Abstract: New non-cytotoxic taxanes synthesized from 10-deacetylbaccatin III and special hydrophobic acylating agents show remarkable MDR reversal activity (< or = 99.8%) against drug-resistant human breast cancer cells when co-administered with paclitaxel or doxorubicin. This activity is ascribed to the highly efficient blocking of P-glycoprotein efflux by these new taxanes.
