Description: Losoxantrone is a DNA intercalator that was developed with the potential to replace anthracyclines. Losoxantrone is also a bioreductive drugs. In phase II trials, losoxantrone demonstrated a partial biochemical response rate of 25%, response in measurable disease sites in 22%, and improvement in clinical symptoms in one-third of patients.
