Optical Activity UNSPECIFIED

Esorubicin (4'-deoxydoxorubicin, NSC 267469) is a synthetic derivative of the anthracycline antineoplastic antibiotic doxorubicin with potential antineoplastic activity. Esorubicin intercalates into DNA and inhibits topoisomerase II, thereby inhibiting DNA replication and ultimately, interfering with RNA and protein synthesis. This agent exhibits less cardiotoxicity than the parent antibiotic doxorubicin, but may cause more severe myelosupression compared to other compounds within the anthracycline class. Esorubicin was being clinically tested for the treatment of solid tumors as well as lymphomas an leukemias. Esorubicin development has been discontinued.

Sample Use Guides

Phase II trial was utilizing esorubicin (4'-deoxydoxorubicin) given in a dosage of 30 mg/m2 intravenously every 3 weeks.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
In Vitro Use Guide
The effect of different Esorubicin concentrations (0.1 uM to 0.1 nM) has been tested on the in vitro growth of human normal hemopoietic progenitor cells and of three leukemic cell lines (K562, U 937, HL60). The highest drug concentration completely abolished both normal and leukemic proliferation. Lower doses of Esorubicin failed to induce any morphological or phenotypic differentiation of leukemic cell lines. A 24h pretreatment of the cells with 1 nM Esorubicin enhanced the in vitro proliferation of normal early myeloid progenitor cells, whereas it did not affect leukemic, myelomonocytic cell proliferation.
