We investigated the cytotoxicity and cellular pharmacology of idarubicin (IDA), idarubicinol (IDAol) and daunorubicin (DNR) in K562/VP-H2 cells, which show topoisomerase II-related multidrug resistance but do not overexpress P-glycoprotein. K562/VP-H2 cells were less resistant to IDA and IDAol than to DNR. There was no significant difference in the accumulation of each drug between K562 and K562/VP-H2 cells. The cleavage of DNA induced by each drug was decreased in K562/VP-H2 cells, however, the decrease in cleavage in K562/VP-H2 cells was less with IDA and IDAol than with DNR. These results suggest that IDA and IDAol have more cytotoxic potency than DNR in topoisomerase II-related multidrug-resistant leukemia cells.

D004250 DNA Topoisomerases, Type II DNA TOPOISOMERASES that catalyze ATP-dependent breakage of both strands of DNA, passage of the unbroken strands through the breaks, and rejoining of the broken strands. These enzymes bring about relaxation of the supercoiled DNA and resolution of a knotted circular DNA duplex.
