Soloxolone

Multidrug resistance (MDR) remains a significant challenge in cancer therapy, primarily due to the overexpression of transmembrane drug transporters, with P-glycoprotein (P-gp) being a central focus. Consequently, the development of P-gp inhibitors has emerged as a promising strategy to combat MDR. Given the P-gp targeting potential of soloxolone amides previously predicted by us by an absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) analysis, the aim of the current study was to experimentally verify their P-gp inhibitory and MDR reversing activities in vitro. Screening of soloxolone amides as modulators of P-gp using molecular docking and cellular P-gp substrate efflux assays revealed the ability of compound
