A Case of Acute Leukemia Remitted by Adding Cyclosporin-A Previously Failed with Induction Therapy
Seat Byeoul Park, Byung Kyu Choe, Heung Sik Kim, Chin Moo Kang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(7):988-992.   Published online July 15, 2000
Clinical chemotherapy refractoriness is characterized by resistance to multiple drugs. Multidrug resistance(MDR) is caused by over-reactivity of a unidirectional drug efflux pump, transmembrane glycoprotein(P-glycoprotein), which is encoded by the MDR1 gene. P-glycoprotein leads to increased drug efflux and decreased intracellular drug concentration. Clinical trials that attempt to reverse or modulate MDR have been done. Cyclosporin-A and verapamil are the most extensively studied agents and several...
