HIDE SMILES / InChI
Losoxantrone is an anthrapyrazole that induces both single and double strand breaks in DNA and is a potent inhibitor of DNA synthesis. The drug is in clinical trials for the treatment of breast cancer and of prostate cancer that is refractory to androgen ablation. Acute toxicity is negligible. Losoxantrone may be less cardiotoxic than doxorubicin. Up to 40% of patients encounter alopecia. 3% of patients develop congestive heart failure. Losoxantrone had been in phase II clinical trial for the treatment of breast and prostate cancer. However, this development was discontinued.
