A family of compounds, N-Benzylindoel-3-acetic acid derivatives, are active as inhibitors of multiple drug resistance protein (MRP) while having low direct toxicity, low COX -1 inhibitory activity and, in some cases, having useful activities such as COX-1 inhibition. The agents are useful in combination with MRP substrate drugs in the treatment of, for example, drug resistant cancer or tumours likely to develop drug resistant cancers because they can be given at higher concentration while being less toxic and having less side effects than known MRP inhibitors. The agents may also be more beneficial in the treatment of diseases which are dependent on MRP-1 activity or where MRP-1 activity reduces the effectiveness of existing therapies.
