General information

Class/mechanism: Anthracycline; binds and intercalates into DNA, inhibiting nucleotide replication and DNA/RNA polymerase activity. Intercalation of DNA triggers DNA cleavage via topoisomerase II. Toxic effects on organs may be related to cell membrane lipid binding activities; enzymatic electron reduction of doxorubicin creates reactive species, e.g. hydroxyl free radicals OH-, which has been implicated in cardiotoxicity by means of Cu (II) and Fe (III) reduction.[1][2]
Route: IV
Extravasation: vesicant

For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the prescribing information.[1]
