        |  | 
        
        | Term 
 
        | decreased active transport of drug into cells and altered form of FH2 reductase (minor); tumore cells generate an increased concentration of FH2 reductase through gene amplification (major) |  | Definition

        | Term 
 
        | increased sythesis of thymidylate synthetase; altered affinity of TS for FdUMP; increased rate of catabolism of drug |  | Definition 
 | 
        |  | 
        
        | Term 
 
        | depressed level of kinase required for activation leading to lack of phosphorylation and decreased inhibition of DNA synthesis; enhanced levels of deaminase that inactivates the drug |  | Definition 
 | 
        |  | 
        
        | Term 
 
        | decreased drug activation by HGRPT; increases inactivation by alkaline phosphatase |  | Definition 
 | 
        |  | 
        
        | Term 
 
        | reduced intracellular accumulation of drug due to increased efflux; amplification of the MDR1 gene/P170 GP (multidrug resistance MDR phenotype) |  | Definition

        |  | 
        
        | Term 
 
        | reduced intracellular accumulation (like P170 MDR gp); activation or enhancement of DNA repair mechanisms; increased glutathione transferase (GTS) activity |  | Definition
