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.

Discover Bioactive Small Molecules for Apoptosis

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death (PCD), is a selective process for the removal of unnecessary, infected or transformed cells in various biological systems. As it plays a role in the homeostasis of multicellular organisms, apoptosis is tightly regulated through two principal pathways by a number of regulatory and effector molecules.

Discover Bioactive Small Molecules for Cell Cycle Research

n proliferating cells, the cell cycle consists of four phases. Gap 1 (G1) is the interval between mitosis and DNA replication that is characterized by cell growth. Replication of DNA occurs during the synthesis (S) phase, which is followed by a second gap phase (G2) during which growth and preparation for cell division occurs. Together, these three stages comprise the interphase phase of the cell cycle. Interphase is followed by the mitotic (M) phase.
