Drug resistance is an obstacle for chemotherapy success. Because of this, this work aims to improve the cell killing effect of antineoplastic drugs by magnetic field (MF) co-exposure. S. cerevisiae cells were exposed to 2.45 mT, sinusoidal 50 Hz MF, during 48 h, and the drugs cisplatin (cisPt), mitomycin C (MMC), or methotrexate (MTX); 100 and 1,000 microg/ml. Survival was assayed by the drop test. The results showed that MF exposures do not induce alterations in the potency of cisPt, MMC, and MTX on these cells in relation to untreated controls. In addition, a strong correlation between temperature and potency of cisPt was found, which contribute to the establishment of the importance of an exhaustive control of temperature in experiments carried out with temperature sensitive antineoplastic agents in co-exposure with MF; avoiding differences between MF-exposed samples and unexposed controls and contributing to the performance of experiments under well-defined and controlled conditions.
