A sensitive assay for direct determination of intracellular level of daunorubicin (DRN) in resistant leukemia cells with overexpressed P-glycoprotein has been developed. This assay is based on a rapid separation of cells from media and fast cut-off of DRN transportation by centrifugation of cells through a layer of silicone oil. Cell pellets were extracted using 1% (v/v) formic acid in 50% (v/v) ethanol in water. The cell extracts were subsequently analysed by liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled a low-energy collision tandem mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization source (ESI-CID-MS/MS) operated in the multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Calibration curve was linear from 0.4 to 250nM with correlation coefficient (r²) better than 0.998. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 0.4 nM. The assay has been successfully applied to a determination of intracellular content of daunorubicin in sensitive K562 and resistant K562/Dox and K562/HHT300 cells.
