General description

Chemical structure: aminoglycoside

Application

Daunorubicin hydrochloride is used in photostability, antileukemic, and drug metabolism studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

On binding to DNA, daunomycin intercalates, with its daunosamine residue directed toward the minor groove. Daunomycin effectively binds to every 3 base pairs which causes unwinding.
Potent anticancer agent. Inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis as sequence specific ds-DNA intercalating agent.

Packaging

5 mg, 25 mg

Other Notes

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Hygroscopic. Store under inert gas.

Outcomes of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) improve significantly by intensification of induction. To further intensify anthracycline dosage without increasing cardiotoxicity, we compared potentially less cardiotoxic liposomal daunorubicin (L-DNR) to idarubicin at a higher-than-equivalent dose (80 vs 12 mg/m(2)
