Modulation of vinblastine cytotoxicity by dilantin (phenytoin) or the protein phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid involves the potentiation of anti-mitotic effects and induction of apoptosis in human tumour cells.

Cellular insensitivity to vinca alkaloids is suggested to be primarily due to drug efflux by P-glycoprotein (P-gp). The anti-epileptic phenytoin (DPH), which does not bind to P-gp, can selectively enhance vincristine (VCR) cytotoxicity in wild-type (WT) or multidrug-resistant (MDR) cells. We now dem...
