Description

General description

An anti-tumor antibiotic and a highly effective myotoxin that inhibits topoisomerase II (IC₅₀ = 100 nM). Binds to nucleic acids, presumably by specific intercalation into the DNA double helix, inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis. Cytotoxicity seems to be due to its ability to intercalate with DNA, interact with plasma membranes, and take part in oxidation-reduction reactions. Induces apoptosis in rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines.

Binds to nucleic acids, presumably by specific intercalation into the DNA double helix, thereby inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis. Induces apoptosis in rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines. Also available as a 10 mM solution in H₂O (Cat. No. 504042).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Primary Target
topoisomerase 2

Product does not compete with ATP.

Warning

Toxicity: Carcinogenic / Teratogenic (D)

Reconstitution

Following reconstitution, refrigerate (4°C). Stock solutions are stable for up to 1 month at 4°C. Under acidic conditions doxorubicin is converted to a water-insoluble adriamycinone and a water soluble reducing sugar, daunosamine.
