Future clinical investigations with anthracycline antibiotics in relation to daunorubicin. 1981

F M Muggia, and R H Blum, and J C Wernz

Future studies with daunorubicin involve mainly comparative evaluations with other anthracycline antibiotics and related compounds. Efforts are ongoing to improve the therapeutic index of these drugs. This includes not only laboratory development but also clinical evaluation of analogs, manipulations in dose schedules, and the use of protectors of toxic manifestations, primarily of cardiomyopathy. Technological advances in the clinical area permit, for example, the exploration of daunorubicin and related compounds by continuous infusion under more precise pharmacologic and cardiologic monitoring than was possible when they were initially introduced.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.
