Table 1. Quinacrine concentration (µM) in wild-type and Mdr1 0/0 mice.
Tissue | Wild-type | Mdr1 0/0 | P value |
Brain | 1.6±0.3 | 84±2.4 | 0.0003 |
Kidney | 55±17 | 138±33 | 0.01 |
Liver | 207±25 | 223±50 | 0.7 |
Spleen | 97±5.3 | 154±16 | 0.02 |
Wild-type and Mdr10/0 mice (n = 3) were treated with 40 mg/kg/day of quinacrine in a chocolate-flavored liquid diet for 29 d. After treatment, the mice were euthanized and the quinacrine concentration in each tissue was measured by LC/MS/MS. Values are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (SD).
