Multidrug resistance (MDR) is defined as resistance of tumor cells to the cytotoxic action of multiple structurally dissimilar and functionally divergent drugs commonly used in chemotherapy. 1,4-Dihydropyridines (DHPs) are one of the major classes of Ca2+ channel blockers, and it has been shown that these agents are a new class of drug resistance reversers in cancer treatment. Analysis of various investigations on MDR reversing effects of DHPs shows that they can be a potential class for designing compounds simultaneously effective on both typical and atypical MDR. Also, it is possible to include some considerations on essential structural features for MDR reversing and further decreasing of Ca2+ channel blocking activity as an adverse effect.
