Epirubicin is an anthracycline drug used for cancer chemotherapy.
Epirubicin-containing regimens are better than those containing cyclophosphamide, methotrexate and fluorouracil (CMF) for treatment of early breast cancer.  "Polychemotherapy for early breast cancer: an overview of the randomised trials. Early Breast Cancer Trialists' Collaborative Group."  Lancet 352:  930-942 (1998).
The mechanisms of antitumor activity of anthracyclines may include 1) inhibition synthesis of macromolecules by intercalation into DNA; 2) DNA damage or lipid peroxidation by generation of free radicals; 3) DNA cross-linking; 4) DNA binding and alkylation; 5) interference with DNA unwinding, DNA strand separation, and helicase activity; 6) membrane effects; and 7) initiation of DNA damage by inhibition of topoisomerase II, and thus induction of apoptosis.  Minotti, G., et al.  "Anthracyclines: molecular advances and pharmacologic developments in antitumor activity and cardiotoxicity."  Pharmacol. Rev. 56:  185-229 (2004).
Several clinical trials have demonstrated that epirubicin-containing regimens at equimolar doses achieved equivalent objective response rates and overall median survival as doxorubicin-containing regimens in the treatment of advanced and early breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, gastric cancer, ovarian cancer and nonresectable primary hepatocellular carcinoma.  Plosker, G.L. and Faulds, D.  "Epirubicin.  A review of its pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties, and therapeutic use in cancer chemotherapy."  Drugs 45:  788-856 (1993).
Epirubicin and doxorubicin are two major anthracyclines.  At equimolar doses, these two anthracyclines showed similar response rates. The major side effects of anthracyclines are cardiotoxicity and myelosuppression.  Epirubicin, having less toxicity at similar doses, represents an alternative to doxorubicin for breast cancer treatment.  Kaklamani, V.G. and Gradishar, W.J.  "Epirubicin versus doxorubicin:  which is the anthracycline of choice for the treatment of breast cancer?"  Clin. Breast Cancer 4:  S26-S33 (2003).
