Drug resistance of cancers remains a major obstacle due to limited therapeutics. Lysosome targeting is an effective method for overcoming drug resistance in cancer cells. St-N (ent-13-hydroxy-15-kaurene-19-acid N-methylpiperazine ethyl ester) is a novel alkaline stevioside derivative with an amine group. In this study, we found that docetaxel (Doc)-resistant prostate cancer (PCa) cells were sensitive to St-N. Mechanistically, the... Читать дальше...
