INTRODUCTION: WHAT IS MULTIDRUG RESISTANCE?

PART I ABC PROTEINS: AN OVERVIEW AND DESCRIPTION
OF THE STRUCTURE, GENOME, NORMAL TISSUE
EXPRESSION, PHYSIOLOGICAL ASPECT, AND
MECHANISM OF ACTION

1 The P-glycoprotein 170: Just a multidrug resistance protein or a
protean molecule? 
2 Multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP/ABCC proteins)
3 ABCG2: A new challenge in cancer drug resistance 

PART II ABC PROTEINS AND ONCOLOGY: EXPRESSION,
DETECTION, AND IMPLICATION OF ABC
PROTEINS IN HEMATOLOGICAL MALIGNANCIES
AND SOLID TUMORS

myeloblastic leukemia 
5 ABC proteins and oncology: Expression, detection, and
implication of ABC proteins in solid tumors

PART IV MULTIDRUG RESISTANCE (MDR) MODULATION
THROUGH INHIBITION OF ABC TRANSPORTERS:
DESIGN OF INHIBITORS AND MECHANISM
OF ACTION 

8 Reversal agents for P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance
