Methods of application of a class of compounds with a pharmacophore of dibenzocyclooctadiene in the preparation of anticancer medications, and particularly for the preparation of medications for the treatment of P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistant (MDR) cancer and non-P-glycoprotein-mediated MDR cancer, such as multidrug resistant associated protein MRP1-mediated cancer. Methods of increasing the efficacy of anticancer agents are further disclosed. The class of compounds are of a potency to effectively reverse MDR cancer by inhibiting the drug transport activity of an ABC drug transporter, increase the intracellular accumulation of an anticancer agent in MDR cancer cells, enhance apoptosis of cancer cells induced by an anticancer agent, and directly kill cancer cells. The aforementioned methods of application of the present disclosure provide much potential for the treatment of cancer. Mass production of medications incorporating these chemical compounds will treat a significant number of patients affected by the condition of MDR cancer.
