immunofluorescence analysis and ABCG2 ATPase assay. The results revealed that the reversal efficacies of compounds 2 and 8 were not due to an alteration in the expression level or localization of ABCG2 in ABCG2-overexpressing cell lines. Instead, compounds 2 and 8 significantly stimulated the ATP hydrolysis of ABCG2 transporter, suggesting that these compounds could be competitive substrates of ABCG2 transporter. Overall
