Flavonols found in foods can block drug resistance protein and boost medication absorption

Researchers identified specific flavonols that potently inhibit breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), a key driver of drug resistance and poor oral drug absorption. The study found that these flavonols can reverse chemotherapy resistance in vitro and boost drug exposure in animal models, though clinical translation remains uncertain.
