    Abstract: A method for inhibiting therapeutic drug resistance within a cell over-expressing a membrane protein is provided. The method comprises synthesizing a dimeric prodrug inhibitor of a monomeric therapeutic agent; administering the dimeric prodrug inhibitor to the membrane protein together with the monomeric therapeutic agent; and occupying at least one substrate binding site of the membrane protein with the synthesized dimeric prodrug to allow the monomeric therapeutic agent to accumulate within the cell. The dimeric prodrug inhibitor contains a crosslinking agent that is adapted to breakdown under reducing conditions within the cytosol of the cell to cause the dimeric prodrug to revert back to a form equivalent to the monomeric therapeutic agent.
