Description

General description

Dexrazoxane is a member of bis(2,6-dioxopiperazines), that functions as a topoisomerase 2 catalytic inhibitor. Dexrazoxane is a free radical scavenger. It might protect the heart from doxorubicin-associated damage. Dexrazoxane acts as a cardiopulmonary protectant, while treating Hodgkin′s disease (HD). It functions as a chelating agent, which limits the formation of anthracycline-iron complexes. It is used to synthesize antimalarial drugs.

Application

Dexrazoxane has been used in chromatin remodelling experiments.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Dexrazoxane is a cardioprotective compound against anthracyclines. It functions by inhibiting topoisomerase II without inducing DNA strand breaks. Dexrazoxane is a + enantiomer of razoxane.
