Also known as daunorubicin citrate liposome injection.
General information
Class/mechanism: Anthracycline enclosed in a liposomal preparation, which protects it from chemical and enzymatic degradation, reduces protein binding, and decreases uptake by normal (non-reticuloendothelial system) tissues. Liposomal preparation may increase accumulation in tumors. Daunorubicin 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.[1][2][3]
Route: IV
Extravasation: irritant
