Abstract: AIM: To study the effects of cinobufacine on intracellular adriamycin accumulation in human breast cancer MCF-7/ADM cells, and further explore the mechanism of cinobufacine reversing the multidrug resistance of human breast cancer MCF-7/ADM cells. METHODS: The cytotoxic effect was determined by MTT assay. Intracellular ADM concentration was examined by HPLC. RESULTS: 15 mg/L cinobufacine decreased the IC50 of ADM to MCF-7/ADM cells from 38.14 mg/L to 12.93 mg L, but increased intracellular adriamycin accumulation in MCF-7/ADM cells. CONCLUSION: Cinobufacine can increase intracellular ADM accumulation and partly reverse MDR of MCF-7/ADM cell line.

Key words: cinobufacine, adriamycin, multidrug resistance, MCF-7/ADM cell
