Doxorubicin (CAT: I002769) is a potent anthracycline chemotherapy drug widely used in the treatment of various types of cancer, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and leukemia. It exerts its anticancer effects by intercalating with DNA, inhibiting DNA and RNA synthesis, and inducing DNA damage. Doxorubicin also generates free radicals, leading to oxidative stress and further damage to cancer cells. Due to its broad spectrum of activity, doxorubicin is utilized in combination with other chemotherapy drugs in various treatment regimens. However, it is associated with potential side effects, including cardiotoxicity, bone marrow suppression, and gastrointestinal disturbances.
