doxorubicin hydrochloride usage and synthesis

chemical properties	orange-red crystalline solid

usage	strong fluorescent dye intercalating into dna. antitumour antibiotic. effect of adriamycin on heart mitochondrial dna. inhibitor of reverse transcriptase and rna polymerase; immunosuppressive agent.
usage	antibacterial;dna intercalant
usage	doxorubicin hydrochloride (adriamycin hydrochloride) is an antitumour agent that has been formulated as a salt to achieve higher water solubility. while the salt shares the same pharmacological properties as doxorubicin free base, its greater water solubility may offer advantages in some in vitro applications. physicochemical properties and chromatographic behaviour will depend on whether the ph is buffered. in non-ph controlled systems the free base and salt may behave differently.
