Adriamycin, a new antitumour antibiotic of the anthracycline group with a structural formula very similar to daunorubicin, has proved to have potent tumour-growth-inhibiting properties, and to be particularly effective in childhood malignancies. Though adriamycin produces a higher percentage of side-effects than daunorubicin-namely, stomatitis and alopecia-a lower dosage may be used for therapy.
阿霉素是一种蒽环类新型抗肿瘤抗生素,其结构式与柔红霉素非常相似,已证明具有强大的肿瘤生长抑制特性,尤其对儿童恶性肿瘤有效。尽管阿霉素产生副作用的比例比柔红霉素高,即口腔炎和脱发,但治疗时可以使用较低剂量。
