MedKoo Cat#: 146034 | Name: Epirubicinol

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Epirubicinol is a metabolite of the chemotherapeutic agent epirubicin, used in the treatment of various cancers, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and certain types of leukemia. It works by intercalating into DNA, inhibiting topoisomerase II, and generating free radicals, which ultimately leads to DNA damage and cancer cell death. As a potent antitumor agent, epirubicinol shares similar mechanisms with its parent compound, epirubicin, but may have a different pharmacological profile. It is typically administered in a clinical setting as part of chemotherapy regimens to reduce tumor growth and improve survival outcomes.
