摘要
The armamentarium of the oncologist includes 40-50 clinically useful chemical agents. The paradigm of cytotoxic anticancer agents is doxorubicin, an anthracycline, which is amongst the most widely prescribed and effective of anticancer agents. This review attempts to summarize the discovery and development of the anthracyclines, their classification on the basis of structure and mechanism, and evidence on their several modes of action. Recent identification of cellular targets including topoisomerases and helicases present new challenges to the synthetic chemist and pharmacologist.
