May link anthracycline reduction to cardiotoxicity; leaves open clinical relevance pending in vivo validation.
This in vitro study proposes an electrochemical reduction mechanism for anthracyclines that may help explain their cardiotoxic effects.
Rao et al. (1978) studied this question. Daunorubicin and adriamycin was evaluated on Electrochemical reduction behavior. Electrochemical investigation of daunorubicin and adriamycin proposed a mechanism for their complex reduction behavior, which may relate to their antineoplastic and cardiotoxic activities.
