OBJECTIVE To establish the HPLC with fluorescence detector method for determination of adriamycin (ADM) concentration in U87 cells, as the basis for further study the effect of chemotherapy agents on cancer cells and to reverse drug resistance of tumor cells. METHODS U87 at the density of 1 × 1 0^6 cells mL ^-1 were divided randomly into the groups as: control group and treatment groups treated with various concentration of ADM, the determination of ADM was performed after the cocultured with ADM for 24 h. HPLC fluorescence detector was used to determinate the concentration of ADM intra-and extra- cellular of U87 cells. The cells in each group were chromatographed on a reversed - phase column, Inertsil ODS-35 μm, 250 mm×4. 6 mm, mobile phase consisted of methyl alcohol (0. 01 mol·L^-1 ), acetonitrile and ammonium dihydric phosphate (40: 15:45), pH 3.52 and the flow rate of 1.4 mL·min^-1 The detective excitation and emission wavelengths were 495 nm and 561) nm respectively. The internal standard was daunorubicin. RESULTS A good linear relationship at the range of 0. 025 mg·L ^-1 to 7. 5 mg·L^-1 of ADM intracellular space was obtained, r= 0. 999 9, and a good linear relationship at the range of 0. 1 mg·L^-1 to 10 mg·L^-1 of ADM in extracellular space was obtained, r= 0. 999 8. The lowest quantity and testing concentration of intracellular and extracellular were 0.05 mg·L^-1 and 0. 1 mg·L^-1 respectively, the RSD of inter-day and within day were less than 10%. CONCLUSION The results showed that HPLC with fluorescence detector has been verified, it is accurate and sensitive in the determination of concentration of ADM in U87 cells, with low limit of determination, wide liner range, satisfied precision, and good mean recovery for cancer ceils dynamic status both of the intracellular and extraeellular concentrations of ADM, thus it could be a convenient and exact method for determination of chemotherapy agents in cultured cells.
