Downregulates the level of P-glycoprotein and triggers apoptosis, which is associated with increased caspase-3 activity, disrupted mitochondrial membrane potential, downregulated Bcl-2 expression, and upregulated Bax expression in resistant cells
Prevents 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion-induced cytotoxicity, which may be ascribed to its antioxidant properties and antiapoptotic activity via regulating the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax
