What is Doxorubicin ?

Doxorubicin (DXR) is a clinically important cancer chemotherapeutic agent and, in spite of undesirable acute and long-term toxic effects, DXR remains one of the most widely used antitumor drugs because of its broad spectrum of activity[1]. DXR was first isolated in 1969[1] from Streptomyces peucetius subsp caesius ATCC 27952, a higher DXR-producing mutant strain derived from the wild-type S. peucetius ATCC 29050 strain, and is formed by C-14 hydroxylation of its immediate precursor, DNR. Although a number of organisms (including the 29050 strain) are known to produce DNR [2], S. peucetius subsp caesius is the only organism reported to produce DXR. The current production of DXR is over 225 kilograms annually due to its wide use and the fact that it is the starting point for the synthesis of numerous analogs and derivatives aimed at improving clinical cancer treatment[1]. Although DXR was discovered as a microbial metabolite, it is produced commercially by semi-synthesis from the more abundant DNR instead of by fermentation. High-DNR producing strains are available worldwide yet apparently lack the ability to make useful amounts of DXR or the DXR produced cannot easily be separated from the DNR that also is present. Consequently, the development of improved strains for DXR production is a beneficial goal since this drug is an expensive product.

Function :

Used as an antineoplastic
Strong fluorescent dye intercalating into DNA. Antitumour antibiotic. Effect of adriamycin on heart mitochondrial DNA. Inhibitor of reverse transcriptase and RNA polymerase; immunosuppressive agent.
Antibacterial;DNA intercalant
Doxorubicin hydrochloride (adriamycin hydrochloride) is an antitumour agent that has been formulated as a salt to achieve higher water solubility. While the salt shares the same pharmacological properties as doxorubicin free base, its greater water solubility may offer advantages in some in vitro applications. Physicochemical properties and chromatographic behaviour will depend on whether the pH is buffered. In non-pH controlled systems the free base and salt may behave differently.

Doxorubicin is an anthracycline antitumor antibiotic that inhibits DNA topoisomerase II by inducing double-stranded DNA breaks. By intercalating within DNA, doxorubicin inhibits nucleic acid synthesis and induces apoptosis by inducing the accumulation of the p53 tumor suppressor .
