Epirubicin HCl (56390-09-1) is an antitumor agent.1 Inhibits topoisomerase II.2 Induces DNA damage by a number of different mechanisms including intercalation, free radical-mediated oxidation, crosslinking, interference with DNA unwinding, strand separation and helicase activity.3 Epirubicin HCl induces myocardial dysfunction as a side effect to chemotherapy.4
