Xorubin Injection 2 mg/ml contains Doxorubicin Hydrochloride, a potent anthracycline anticancer medication used in the treatment of various solid tumors and hematological malignancies. It is administered intravenously under strict oncology supervision and is commonly included in combination chemotherapy regimens. Doxorubicin works by interfering with the growth and replication of cancer cells, helping to control disease progression.

Mechanism of Action

Doxorubicin works through multiple anticancer mechanisms:

• Intercalates between DNA base pairs, disrupting DNA replication and transcription
• Inhibits topoisomerase II, preventing DNA repair and cell division
• Generates free radicals that cause oxidative damage to cancer cells

These combined actions result in inhibition of cancer cell growth and induction of cell death.
