Abstract
Hydrophilic hexapeptide Imunofan produces a modulatory effect on multiple drug resistance transport proteins depending on their functional activity. The hexapeptide inhibited multiple drug resistance proteins during substrate transport, but increased their activity in the latent period. By the inhibition of multiple drug resistance, specific activity of Imunofan more than 1000-fold surpassed that of other substrate analogues. Inhibitory analysis showed that regulatory effect of this hexapeptide depends on protein kinase C.
