Epirubicin Hydrochloride API is the hydrochloride salt of the 4'-epi-isomer of the anthracycline antineoplastic antibiotic doxorubicin. Epirubicin intercalates into DNA and inhibits topoisomerase II, thereby inhibiting DNA replication and ultimately, interfering with RNA and protein synthesis. This agent also produces toxic free-radical intermediates and interacts with cell membrane lipids causing lipid peroxidation.

Epirubicin Hydrochloride API is an anthracycline antitumor antibiotic developed by Pfizer for the treatment of breast cancer, lung cancer, and liver cancer. It was launched in Europe in 1984 and in the United States in 1999. It is widely used in the treatment of leukemia, lymphoma, and various solid tumors (including breast cancer, non-small cell tumors, cervical cancer, and head and neck cancer). Its mechanism of action is to directly embed between DNA nucleobase pairs, interfere with the transcription process, prevent the formation of mRNA, and thus inhibit the synthesis of DNA and RNA. In addition, epirubicin also has an inhibitory effect on topoisomerase II. It is a cell cycle non-specific drug that is effective against a variety of transplanted tumors. Compared with doxorubicin, it has equal or slightly higher efficacy, but is less toxic to the heart.
