Abstract
The results of the experiments presented here suggest that 1-Naph-NMCB is able to overcome all of the different mechanisms of resistance showed by the resistant cell lines used for our experiments. On the contrary, when we used the taxol-resistant A549-T12 cell line, characterized by a mechanism of resistance due to a mutation of the target site of taxol on microtubules, it displayed a partial but significant cross-resistance to 2-Naph-DNB. Although the actual mechanism of this cross-resistance has not yet been definitively elucidated, our results from immunostaining of microtubules suggest that it may be linked to the presence of a shared target site for taxol and 2-Naph-DNB on microtubules.
