General information

Class/mechanism: Anthracycline analog of Daunorubicin (Cerubidine), binds and intercalates between DNA base pairs. Inhibits topoisomerase II activity by stabilizing the DNA-topoisomerase II complex, resulting in single and double strand DNA breaks. May also inhibit polymerase activity and trigger free radical damage to DNA. In comparison to other anthracyclines, idarubicin lacks a methoxy group at position 4 of the anthracycline structure, which results in it having high lipophilicity and an increased rate of cellular uptake compared with other anthracyclines.[1][2][3][4]
