Berubicin, an anthracycline derivative, is a DNA binding agent and potent topoisomerase II poison. Reata Pharmaceuticals were developing it as a treatment for brain cancer as it can breach the blood-brain barrier. It had also been in early clinical trials for the treatment of lung cancer and malignant gliomas. However, studies have been terminated. In October 2006, it was granted orphan drug designation from the FDA for the treatment of malignant gliomas. According to a CNS Pharmaceuticals media release in April 2018, berubicin will be studied for glioblastoma patients, these investigations will be funded in part by an equity crowdfunding campaign.
