1 Several lipophilic, cytotoxic drugs, or both, (including anticancer drugs [Vinca alkaloids, doxorubicin, cyclosporin A, and digoxin]) have proven to be actively effluxed by P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expressed at the luminal membrane of the brain capillary endothelial cells, resulting in the very low apparent blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeation of these P-gp substrates from the blood circulating to the brain. Doxorubicin ATP-binding cassette, subfamily B (MDR/TAP), member 1B Rattus norvegicus
