ACTIONS AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
The mechanism of action of epirubicin, although not completely
elucidated, appears to be related
to its ability to bind to nucleic acids by intercalation of the planar
anthracycline nucleus with the
DNA double helix.
Binding to cell membranes as well as to plasma proteins may also be
involved. Cell culture studies
have demonstrated rapid cell penetration and perinucleolar chromatin
binding, rapid inhibition of
mitotic activity, mutagenesis and chromosomal
