One aspect of the present invention is a method of treating a condition or disease associated with the activity of a multidrug transporter protein comprising administering to a mammal with a condition or disease associated with the activity of a multidrug transporter protein an effective quantity of a purine derivative or analogue, a tetrahydroindolone derivative or analogue, or a pyrimidine derivative or analogue. If the compound is a purine derivative, the purine moiety can be guanine or hypoxanthine. A particularly preferred bifunctional purine derivative is N-4-carboxyphenyl-3-(6-oxohydropurin-9-yl) propanamide. Methods according to the present invention can be used to treat cancer, a microbial or parasitic infection, HIV, infection, or a condition associated with inflammation such as asthma or rheumatic disease.
