Directed evolution of Cys (cysteines) in the multidrug transporter Pgp identified novel non-conservative substitutions, revealed important domain interactions and produced a CL protein that is more robust and active than previous CL Pgp built solely on conservative alanine substitutions.

One of the major obstacles of chemotherapy is that, after repeated treatments, cellular resistance to the drug appears. The problem is that the tumor cells become resistant not only to the drugs which have been used during the treatment but also to other drugs which are structurally and functionally unrelated. This is termed ‘multidrug resistance’ (MDR). MDR is frequently associated with decreased drug accumulation resulting from enhanced drug efflux. This is correlated with the presence of a membrane protein, P-glycoprotein, which pumps a wide variety of drugs out of cells thus reducing their toxicity. The search for molecules able to reverse MDR is very important. We here report that mobile ionophores such as valinomycin, nonactin, nigericin, monensin, calcimycin, lasalocid inhibit the efflux of anthracycline by P-glycoprotein whereas, channel-forming ionophores such as gramicidin do not. Cyclosporin which is also a strong Ca2+ chelating agent also inhibits the P-glycoprotein-mediated efflux of anthracycline.
