Signaling to P-glycoprotein-A new therapeutic target to treat drug-resistant epilepsy?

We provide background information on one potential cause of antiepileptic drug resistance, namely, upregulation of the drug efflux transporter P-glycoprotein at the blood-brain barrier. We summarize recent findings that connect antiepileptic drug resistance with P-glycoprotein upregulation and show a mechanistic link between seizures and upregulation of this transporter. We provide an overview of results demonstrating […]
