“Pentamethyl, pentaethyl, pentapropyl and pentaallyl ethers of morin and quercetin (20 microM) all increased the uptake of [3H]vincristine by K562/ADM cells, while quercetin, morin and their pentabutyl ethers had no effect.”
“In intact MRP1-overexpressing cells, quercetin reduced vincristine resistance from 8.9- to 2.2-fold, whereas kaempferol and naringenin had no effect.”
“However, treatment of both vincristine and quercetin for a similar period reduced the serum CK-MB, LDH, SGPT and cTnT levels near to normal levels in ISO-treated rats.”
“In conclusion, the present finding appears to be the first one, suggesting a better protection of cardiac tissues by combined treatment of vincristine and quercetin in isoproterenol-induced cardiac toxicity.”
“We conclude that low concentrations of quercetin indirectly activate the transport of [3H]vincristine by enhancing the phosphorylation (and hence activity) of P-glycoprotein, whereas high concentrations of quercetin inhibit P-glycoprotein.”
