mitoxantrone-hcl

Description: Mitoxantrone HCl (formerly NSC-301739; NSC301739; DHAQ; CL-232325; Mitroxone; Neotalem; Onkotrone; Pralifan; Novantrone), the hydrochloride salt of Mitoxantrone which is an anthracenedione anticancer agent, is a potent type II topoisomerase inhibitor with potential antitumor activity. It inhibits TOPO II with IC50s of 2.0 uM, 0.42 mM in HepG2 and MCF-7/wt cells, respectively. It is used as an anti-neoplastic drug for leukemia and other types of cancer, and a proven drug for multiple sclerosis. Mitoxantrone suppressed the leukemia via inhibiting DNA synthesis and cell cycle progression. It had effect on different immune cells (e.g. T cell, B cell and macrophage etc.). It interfered with TOPO-II-mediated DNA cleavage and led to multiple DSB (DNA strand breaks), chromatin structure changes etc.
