Preventive and therapeutic strategies of doxorubicin cardiotoxicity:research advances / 国际药学研究杂志

ABSTRACT

The utilization of d oxorubicin (DOX) is compromised by potential lethal cardiotoxicity in clinical application. Improving DOX efficacy in cancer cells while minimizing DOX-associated cardiotoxicity is in the forefront of research. Available methods at present include cardioprotective agents, DOX derivates and dosage schedules. This paper proposes new ideas on potential drug targets aiming at enhancing cancer therapy and cardioprotection simultaneously.
