MeSH headings : ATP Binding Cassette Transporter, Subfamily B, Member 1 / metabolism; Animals; Antineoplastic Agents, Phytogenic / chemistry; Antineoplastic Agents, Phytogenic / pharmacology; Cell Line, Tumor; Crystallization; Drug Resistance, Neoplasm / drug effects; Inhibitory Concentration 50; Leukemia L1210; Linear Models; Mice; Models, Biological; Pentoxifylline / analogs & derivatives; Pentoxifylline / chemistry; Pentoxifylline / pharmacology; Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship; Vincristine / chemistry; Vincristine / pharmacology
TL;DR:
The results indicate that for an effective reversal of P-gp mediated MDR of the authors' cells the existence of a longer polar substituent in the position N1 plays a crucial role and the molar refractivity influences the effectiveness of xanthine positively.
