Packaging Store desiccated at 2-8 °C. Under these conditions, the product is stable for 2 years. A solution in DMSO is stable for 2 months at 2-8 °C. Biochem/physiol Actions Fumitremorgin C (FTC) is a fungal toxin of the diketopiperazines family of compounds. In mammalian cells, FTC is tremorgenic and causes cell cycle arrest. Fumitremorgin C has been shown to reverse resistance to doxorubicin, mitoxantrane, and topotecan in non-Pgp (P-glyco-protein), non-MRP (multidrug resistance protein) multidrug-resistance (MDR) cells. This reversal of resistance is associated with an increase in drug accumulation. Fumitremorgin C is a specific, selective, and potent inhibitor at micromolar concentrations of the breast cancer resistant protein (BCRP/ABCG2), an ABC transporter associated with chemotherapy resistance. FTC, in combination with mitoxantrone, can be used for the detection of ABCG2 functional activity in several cell lines. |
