Doxorubicin (syn: Adriamycin) is the most extensively studied of a family of highly fluorescent anthracycline antibiotics produced by several Streptomyces species, first reported in 1967 and later approved for use as an antitumor agent for a wide range of cancers. Doxorubicin also exhibits anti-HIV and antibacterial activity. The mode of action of Doxorubicin is thought to be due to intercalation of DNA and inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis.
Doxorubicin is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF and DMSO.
