  2. 1. Experimental studies on multidrug resistance in human leukaemia : role of cellular heterogeneity for daunorubicin kinetics

    Author : Eva Knaust; Curt Peterson; Anna Porwit-MacDonald; Astrid Gruber; Christer Paul; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Acute myeloid leukaemia; heterogeneity; multidrug resistance. transport kinetics flow cytometry; gene expression; mdr1; mrp; lrp; apoptosis. bcl-2; p53; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Cellular resistance to chemotherapy is a major cause of treatment failure in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and still the majority of the patients die from their disease. Drug resistance 1s multifactorial, the most studied mechanism being multidrug resistance (MDR), mediated by the P-glycoprotein (Pgp). READ MORE

  4. 2. ATP-Binding-Cassette Transporters in Biliary Efflux and Drug-Induced Liver Injury

    Author : Jenny M. Pedersen; Per Artursson; Christel A. S. Bergström; Stefan Oswald; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ABC transport protein; Pgp; P-glycoprotein; ABCB1; BCRP; breast cancer resistance protein; ABCG2; MRP2; multidrug resistance-associated protein 2; ABCC2; BSEP; bile salt export pump; ABCB11; sandwich cultured human hepatocytes; SCHH; drug-induced liver injury; DILI; multivariate data analysis; OPLS; Galenisk farmaci; Pharmaceutics;

    Abstract : Membrane transport proteins are known to influence the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) of drugs. At the onset of this thesis work, only a few structure-activity models, in general describing P-glycoprotein (Pgp/ABCB1) interactions, were developed using small datasets with little structural diversity.

  5. 3. ATP-Binding Cassette Efflux Transporters and Passive Membrane Permeability in Drug Absorption and Disposition

    Author : Pär Matsson; Per Artursson; Ulf Norinder; Peter Swaan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Pharmaceutics; ATP-binding cassette; ABC transporter; P-gp; P-glycoprotein; ABCB1; BCRP; Breast cancer resistance protein; ABCG2; MRP2; Multidrug-resistance associated protein 2; ABCC2; Membrane permeability; Drug transport; Active transport; Passive diffusion; Multivariate data analysis; PLS; OPLS; QSAR; Galenisk farmaci;

    Abstract : Transport into and across the cells of the human body is a prerequisite for the pharmacological action of drugs. Passive membrane permeability and active transport mechanisms are major determinants of the intestinal absorption of drugs, as well as of the distribution to target tissues and the subsequent metabolism and excretion from the body.

  6. 4. Protein Structure and Interaction in Health and Disease

    Author : Cecilia Andrésen; Maria Sunnerhagen; Patrik Lundström; Lena Mäler; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on protein structure, dynamics and interaction and their relation to human disease. In particular, the biophysical and structural properties of both well-ordered and partially disordered proteins are studied using a range of biophysical techniques such as circular dichroism spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

  7. 5. Evolution and Mechanisms of Tigecycline Resistance in Escherichia coli

    Author : Marius Linkevičius; Dan I. Andersson; Linus Sandegren; Patrice Courvalin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Tigecycline; Bacterial resistance; Fitness; Escherichia coli; AcrAB; LPS; Tet proteins; Tet A ; Tet K ; Tet M ; Tet X ; tet genes; pUUH239.2; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance is an ongoing global medical crisis and we are in great need of new antibacterial agents to combat rapidly emerging resistant pathogens. Tigecycline is one of few drugs that have been introduced into medicine during the last two decades. READ MORE
