Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR), which was described for structurally and m echanistically unrelated anticancer agents, was modulated in vitro by a series of compounds which were of different chemical origin. In this situation, the selection of a correct assay dosage to study the MDR m odulation mechanism was a problem. We developed a high-performance liq uid chomatography (HPLC) method which enabled the simultaneous determi nation of three major cytotoxins (adriamycin, daunorubicin, vincristin e) and two well-known modulators (S 9788, verapamil). This assay was f ully validated and was used to follow, for the first time, the uptake and accumulation behaviour of adriamycin and S 9788 co-incubated with resistant and sensitive cell lines (KB-3-1; KB-A1).
