Abstract: OBJECTIVE To develop effect of tamoxifen on resistance modulators. METHODS The effects of tamoxifen on drug sensitivity in multidrug resistant human leukemic cell line K562/DOX were studied by MTT corlori- metric assay. RESULTS:Tamoxifen enhanced the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin (DOX) to K562/DOX and had no effect on efflux of DOX in K562 cells. CONCLUSION Tamoxifen is an effective reversal agent of multidrug resistance.
