Toxicity: An anthracycline cytotoxic antineoplastic that is produced by Streptomyces peucetius. The LD50 in mice is 9.4 mg/kg, i.v. It is a carcinogen that inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis by intercalating in double-stranded DNA with the amino sugar in the minor groove and the 90-OH group of the anthracycline ring hydrogen-bonded to the adjacent guanine. It also alters membrane fluidity and ion transport, and generates free radicals through a cytochrome P450-mediated reductive process. In humans, it causes alopecia, stomatitis, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cardiotoxicity (manifested by tachycardia), and potentially fatal congestive heart failure.

Use

Doxorubicin (adriamycin) is the most extensively studied of a family of highly fluorescent anthracycline antibiotics produced by several Streptomyces species, first reported in 1967 and later approved for human therapeutic use as an antitumour agent for the treatment of a wide range of cancers. Doxorubicin also exhibits anti-HIV and antibacterial activity. The mode of action of doxorubicin is thought to be due to intercalation of DNA and inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis.Clinically it is applied for the treatment of acute and chronic lymphocytic leukemia and solid tumor leukemia, lymphoma, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, osteogenic sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, ewings sarcoma, nephroblastoma, neuroblastoma, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, prostate cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, testicular cancer, lung cancer, bladder cancer, medullary thyroid carcinoma and sarcoma.
