Hi,

Dipyridamole (DPM) is able to increase and retain the intracellular levels of DOX (doxorubicin) & can markedly enhance the cytotoxicity of DOX, and hence may have possible clinical application.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Tushar Kanti Biswas,
