Stemona alkaloids, from traditional Thai medicine, increase chemosensitivity via P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance
P-glycoprotein-mediated drug efflux can cause a multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype that is associated with a poor response to cancer chemotherapy. Through bioassay-guided fractionation, active Stemona alkaloids were isolated from the roots of Stemona aphylla and S. burkillii. The chemical structur...
