Abstract
MDR in human cancers is one of the major causes of failure of chemotherapy. A member of the superfamily of ABC transporters, BCRP, was demonstrated to confer an atypical MDR phenotype to tumor cells. To overcome the BCRP‐mediated drug resistance, the fungal secondary metabolite TPS‐A, a diketopiperazine, was analyzed with regard to its potency to reverse the BCRP‐mediated drug‐resistant phenotype. At concentrations of 10–50 μM, TPS‐A reversed a mitoxantrone‐resistant phenotype and inhibited the cellular BCRP‐dependent mitoxantrone accumulation in the human gastric carcinoma cell line EPG85‐257RNOV, the human breast cancer cell line MCF7/AdrVp (both exhibiting acquired BCRP‐mediated MDR) and the BCRP cDNA‐transfected breast cancer cell line MCF‐7/BCRP clone 8. No cytotoxicity was seen at effective concentrations. These data indicate that TPS‐A is a novel BCRP inhibitor. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract Multiple drug resistance (MDR) is a problem that seriously reduces the efficacy of many chemotherapy agents. One mechanism for MDR is increased acidification of endocytic vesicles and increased cytosol pH, so weak base chemotherapeutic agents, including doxorubicin, are trapped in endoc
