MDR-1 belongs to a large family of ATP-binding cassette transporter proteins. These pumps bind their substrate and export it through the membrane using energy derived from ATP hydrolysis. In vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated that MDR-1 plays a very significant role in the ADME processes (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion) and drug-drug interaction (DDI) of drugs in humans. Moreover, this efflux transporter is not only expressed in tumor cells, but also in normal tissues (Brain, intestine, liver and kidney) with excretory function that limits oral absorption and central nervous system entry of many drugs.
