The resistant factors and reversal index of K562 and KA cells to Fe3O4 nanoparticles

IC50 mol/L
Resistant factors Reversal Index
K562 KA
DNR 7.94±0.76×10−6 39.72±2.95×10\−6 5.00
Fe3O4+DNR 3.95×10−6 3.18×10−6 0.80 6.25

Resistant factor (Rf) = [IC50] KA/[IC50] K562; Reversal index (Ri) = [Rf]/[Rf′], where Rf and Rf′ stand for the resistant factor of KA with DNR alone and Fe3O4 nanoparticle with DNR, respectively.
