P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance complicates cancer chemotherapy and treatment of patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus. Loo and Clarke (p. 898) examined the effects of disulfiram (AntabuseTM), a drug used to treat alcoholism, on cellular sensitivity to drugs and the maturation of P-glycoprotein. In embryonic kidney cells transfected with the P-glycoprotein gene, 100 nM disulfiram increased sensitivity to two cytotoxic agents. In cells with a modified form of the gene, 50 nM disulfiram blocked maturation of the protein.
