Polyalkylcyanoacrylate (PACA) nanoparticles loaded with doxorubicin allowed multidrug resistance to be overcome in vitro. However, increased cytotoxicity is not always correlated with an increased level of intracellular drug. Although we have previously shown that PACE nanoparticles are not endocytosed by tumour cells, we report here that a direct interaction between nanoparticles and cells is a necessary requirement for overcoming resistance. In addition, the results showed that the degradation products of PACA (mainly polycyanoacrylic acid) in the presence of doxorubicin are able to increase both accumulation and cytotoxicity, thus suggesting the formation of a doxorubicin-polycyanoacrylic acid ion pair, It is therefore concluded that resistance is overcome as a result of both the adsorption of nanoparticles to the cell surface and increased doxorubicin diffusion by the accumulation of an ion pair at the plasma membrane.
