EPIRUBICIN HYDROCHLORIDE
Anthracycline Topoisomerase Inhibitor [EPC]; Topoisomerase Inhibitors [MoA]; Anthracyclines [CS]
Chemical substances, produced by microorganisms, inhibiting or preventing the proliferation of neoplasms.
Compounds that inhibit the activity of DNA TOPOISOMERASE II. Included in this category are a variety of ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENTS which target the eukaryotic form of topoisomerase II and ANTIBACTERIAL AGENTS which target the prokaryotic form of topoisomerase II.
DescriptionEpirubicin hydrochloride is an antitumor antibiotic which is epimeric with doxorubicin a t the 4’-position of the amino sugar moiety. It has shown utility in the treatment of mammary, gastric, colorectal, pulmonary and ovarian carcinomas, as well as malignant lymphoma and melanoma and soft tissue sarcoma. It is reported to be less sardiotoxic than doxorubicin.
DescriptionEpirubicin is a stereoisomer of the antitumor anthracycline doxorubicin that undergoes β-glucuronidation, which partially detoxifies the dose-limiting side effects that are present with doxorubicin. Compared to doxorubicin, epirubicin is equally cytotoxic to HeLa cells (ID50s = 9 μM). When used either alone or in combination therapies, epirubicin has been shown to demonstrate high rates of complete or partial remission in various cancers including advanced ovary, lymphomas, breast, pancreas, gastric, hepatocellular carcinoma, head and neck tumors, and colorectal.
