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

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

3. Experimental studies on multidrug resistance in human leukaemia : role of cellular heterogeneity for daunorubicin kinetics
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. Cadmium in the mammary gland and neonatal intestine : transport pathways and interactions with calcium and iron
Abstract : Cadmium is a ubiquitous toxic metal known to cause several adverse health effects in humans. Newborns have an increased gastrointestinal absorption of cadmium compared to adults and seem to be more sensitive to cadmium toxicity. READ MORE

5. Aspects of molecular markers in drug resistant malaria
Abstract : BACKGROUND: There were an estimated 207 million cases of malaria in 2012 of which 91% were due to Plasmodium falciparum. Antimalarial drug resistance constitutes a major problem in the efforts to control malaria. READ MORE
