Amonafide is an imide derivative of naphthalic acid. It is a novel topoisomerase II (Topo II) inhibitor and DNA intercalator that induces apoptotic signaling by blocking the binding of Topo II to DNA. Amonafide retains cytotoxic activity even in the presence of P-glycoprotein (Pgp)-mediated multi-drug resistance (MDR). It is a new investigational anticancer drug. Amonafide has been extensively studied in patients with malignant solid tumors, like prostate cancer, breast cancer and others. When its usefulness in the treatment of various solid malignancies proved limited, focus was shifted to establishing its use as an antileukemic agent, specifically against secondary and treatment-associated acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
