Product Information

• Name: Elacridar - Bio-X ™
• Synonyms: N-[4-[2-(3,4-Dihydro-6,7-dimethoxy-2(1H)-isoquinolinyl)ethyl]phenyl]-9,10-dihydro-5-methoxy-9-oxo-4-acridinecarboxamideGF 12091
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Elacridar is an inhibitor of ATP-dependent transport, which is mediated by P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Functioning as an oral bioenhancer, Elacridar addresses multiple drug resistance in tumors, a common challenge in cancer treatment often linked to changes in the expression of protein inhibitors. Inhibition of P-gp by Elacridar is a key mechanism behind its effectiveness. P-glycoprotein, a well-characterized human ABC transporter of the MDR/TAP subfamily, acts as an ATP-dependent efflux pump with broad substrate specificity. Its increased expression in the intestines can hinder drug absorption, leading to reduced bioavailability and inadequate therapeutic plasma concentrations. Elacridar addresses this challenge by inhibiting P-gp, thereby increasing the bioavailability of coadministered drugs. Overall, Elacridar emerges as a promising option for the treatment of solid tumors, offering a strategic approach to overcoming multidrug resistance in cancer therapy.
