Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa).

Its primary use is as an inhibitor of the efflux transporter P-glycoprotein. Previous studies in animal models have found it to be effective at preventing cancer cell resistance to chemotherapeutics, but these findings did not translate to clinical success.[2]
