Doxorubicin free base, also called doxorubicin, is an anthracycline antibiotic with antineoplastic activity. Approved API for cancer therapeutic use is doxorubicin HCl. Doxorubicin, isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces peucetius var. caesius, is the hydroxylated congener of daunorubicin. Doxorubicin intercalates between base pairs in the DNA helix, thereby preventing DNA replication and ultimately inhibiting protein synthesis. Note: Doxorubicin free base has low solubility in common solvents. The MedKoo original CAT# for this product was 100280a.
