Active extrusion of drugs from the cell interior by primary and secondary efflux pumps is an essential mechanism underlying the phenomenon of multidrug resistance. The first discovered and best characterized primary efflux pump found in humans is the ABC transporter P-glycoprotein (PGP), which shows very broad substrate specificity. Many of these molecules are lipophilic, and binding most likely takes place within the membrane. PGP could either translocate them from the inner to the outer leaflet (flippase) or extrude them from the membrane into the extracellular environment (hydrophobic vacuum cleaner). Recognition and binding of such a diverse set of substrates must be associated with a preferred membrane location, determined by molecular properties and lipid interactions. Therefore, a systematic study of the interaction among seven PGP substrates (phenazine, doxorubicin, cephalexin, ampicillin, chloramphenicol, penicillin G, and quercetin) and two modulators (quinidine and nicardipine) and 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) model membranes is reported here. The location profile of these molecules across the membrane was determined by ¹H NOESY MAS NMR based on ¹H−¹H cross-peaks between their aromatic fingerprint region and lipid resonances. Although structurally rather diverse, all tested substances are found to have their highest concentration between the phosphate of the lipid headgroup and the upper segments of the lipid hydrocarbon chains. Our findings are consistent with PGP substrate and modulator binding from the membrane interface region.
