PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL DESCRIPTION
Daunorubicin (R.P. 13 057) is an antibiotic produced by Streptomyces
coeruleorubidis. It is the
hydrochloride of 4-methoxy 6, 9, 11-trihydroxy 7, 8, 9, 10-tetrahydro
(2, 3, 6-tridesoxy 3-amino
L-lyxo-1-hexopyranosyl) 7-oxy-9-acetyl 5, 12-naphthacenequinone. Its
structural formula is as
follows:
Molecular weight: 564
The hydrochloride is an orange-red microcrystalline powder. It is
soluble in water, methanol
and aqueous alcohol solutions. It is practically insoluble in
chloroform, ether and benzene.
PROPERTIES
Daunorubicin inhibits the synthesis of nucleic acids, both by binding
desoxyribonucleic acid
and by inhibiting the reproduction of desoxyribonucleic acid and the
synthesis of ribonucleic
acid in the cell nucleus. As a result there is an interruption of cell
division.
INDICATIONS
Daunorubicin Hydrochloride Injection is indicated in the initial
treatment of myeloblastic and
acute lymphoblastic leukemias. It can also induce a remission in
patients suffering from chronic
myeloid leukemia, reticulosarcoma, Ewing or Wilms' tumors and
lymphosarcoma.
