Pixantrone is a cytotoxic aza-anthracenedione. Unlike approved anthracyclines (doxorubicin and others) and anthracenediones (mitoxantrone), pixantrone is only a weak inhibitor of topoisomerase II. Pixantrone is indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with multiply relapsed or refractory aggressive Non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphomas (NHL). |
