P-glycoprotein (P-gp) regulators are a class of compounds used to modulate the activity of the P-gp pump. P-gp is a critical protein responsible for transporting drugs out of cells, which can limit the effectiveness of medications. Regulators can either inhibit or enhance P-gp function. Inhibition is valuable when you want to increase drug concentration in specific tissues, while enhancing P-gp activity can be essential in promoting drug elimination. These regulators play a crucial role in fine-tuning drug delivery and efficacy, ultimately impacting treatment outcomes.
