General information

Class/mechanism: Topoisomerase II inhibitor. Causes DNA strand breaks by interacting with DNA-topoisomerase II or by forming free radicals. Causes arrest at the G2 portion of the cell cycle, with dose dependent effects: at high concentrations, cells entering mitosis undergo lysis; at low concentrations, cells are inhibited from entering prophase.[1][2]
Route: IV, PO
Extravasation: irritant

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]
