Impairment of myocardial contractility by anticancer anthracyclines: role of secondary alcohol metabolites and evidence of reduced toxicity by a novel disaccharide analogue

1. The anticancer anthracycline doxorubicin (DOX) causes cardiotoxicity. Enzymatic reduction of a side chain carbonyl group converts DOX to a secondary alcohol metabolite that has been implicated in cardiotoxicity. We therefore monitored negative inotropism, assessed as inhibition of post-rest contr...
