WHAT DOES ADRIAMYCIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Doxorubicin

Doxorubicin /ˌdɒksəˈruːbəsɪn/, also known as hydroxydaunorubicin, is a drug used in cancer chemotherapy and derived by chemical semisynthesis from a bacterial species. It is an anthracycline antibiotic closely related to the natural product daunomycin and like all anthracyclines, it works by intercalating DNA, with the most serious adverse effect being life-threatening heart damage. It is commonly used in the treatment of a wide range of cancers, including hematological malignancies, many types of carcinoma and soft tissue sarcomas. Common adverse effects of doxorubicin include hair loss, myelosuppression, nausea and vomiting, oral mucositis, oesophagitis, diarrhoea, skin reactions and localised swelling and redness along the vein in which the drug is delivered. Less common, yet serious reactions include hypersensitivity reactions, radiation recall, heart damage and liver dysfunction. The drug is administered intravenously, as the hydrochloride salt. It is sold under a number of different brand names, including Adriamycin PFS, Adriamycin RDF, or Rubex.
