| Targets |
Biricodar dicitrate targets P-glycoprotein (P-gp, ABCB1) and other ABC transporters, including multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1, ABCC1) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP, ABCG2). By binding to these transporters, biricodar dicitrate inhibits the efflux of chemotherapeutic agents from cancer cells, increasing intracellular drug concentrations and restoring the efficacy of chemotherapy. The compound's inhibition of ABC transporters makes it a valuable tool for studying multidrug resistance and for developing strategies to overcome chemotherapy resistance.

| Additional Infomation |
Biricodar dicitrate is a dicitrate of a synthetic piperidine ester derivative with potential chemosensitizing activity. Biricodar directly binds to and inhibits the activity of the plasma membrane drug efflux pump P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP-1), which may lead to increased intracellular accumulation and retention of cytotoxic drugs.
Biricodar dicitrate (VX-710 dicitrate) is a small-molecule inhibitor of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and other ABC transporters that mediate multidrug resistance. It has a molecular formula of C₃₈H₄₆N₂O₁₆ and a molecular weight of 786.78 g/mol. Biricodar dicitrate inhibits the efflux of chemotherapeutic agents from cancer cells, reversing multidrug resistance and restoring chemotherapy efficacy. The compound has been studied for its potential in combination with chemotherapy for drug-resistant cancers. |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
