Application

Mitoxantrone dihydrochloride has been used:
  • to induce calreticulin surface expression in cells
  • as a genotoxin agent
  • as a topoisomerase inhibitor

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mitoxantrone is a cytostatic anthracenedione that intercalates in DNA and increases the incidence of double-strand breaks by stabilizing the cleavable complex of topoisomerase II and DNA. Mitoxantrone also displays broad immunosuppressive activity inhibiting proliferation of all classes of lymphocytes and inducing apoptosis of antigen-presenting T cells. It used clinically as a chemotherapeutic agent against leukemias and solid tumors and as an immune system modulator in multiple sclerosis.
