Application Notes

Epirubicin is the 4'-epi-isomer of the antitumor agent, doxorubicin. Epirubicin acts by inhibiting topoisomerase II resulting in DNA double strand breaks. The anthracyclines also act by evicing histone from open chromatin, deregulating the transcriptome in cancer cells and organs. Epirubicin is active against a wide spectrum of experimental tumours including L1210 and P388 leukemias, sarcomas SA180 (solid and ascitic forms), B16 melanoma, mammary carcinoma, Lewis lung carcinoma and colon carcinoma 38.
