NCI Drug Dictionary


biricodar dicitrate 
The dicitrate salt of a synthetic pipecolinate derivative with potential chemosensitizing activity. Biricodar binds directly to the plasma membrane drug-efflux pumps P-glycoprotein (Pgp) and multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP-1) and inhibits their activities, which may result in increased intracellular accumulation and retention of cytotoxic agents. Check for active clinical trials or closed clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus)
