		Gene Name		ABCB1
		Uniprot ID		MDR1_HUMAN
		KEGG Pathway		hsa:5243
		Protein Family		ABC transporter superfamily
		Protein Function		Translocates drugs and phospholipids across the membrane (PubMed:8898203, PubMed:2897240, PubMed:9038218). Catalyzes the flop of phospholipids from the cytoplasmic to the exoplasmic leaflet of the apical membrane. Participates mainly to the flop of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, beta-D-glucosylceramides and sphingomyelins (PubMed:8898203). Energy-dependent efflux pump responsible for decreased drug accumulation in multidrug-resistant cells (PubMed:2897240, PubMed:9038218). Click to Show/Hide
Mechanism Description		Decreased clearance of Artesunate due to the transporter inhibition by Crizotinib

Recommended Action
Management		Although the clinical significance is unknown, caution is advised if crizotinib is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 2B6, P-gp, and/or OCT1 or OCT2, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring should be considered whenever crizotinib is added to or withdrawn from therapy with these drugs. Patients should be monitored for the development of adverse effects.
