Polarographic modelling of metabolic processes of cancerostatic anthracyclines

Selected Contributions to Polarography by the Bioelectrochemistry Laboratory at Jena

“…There are further processes, e.g. the dimerization of the chromophore radical, which are related to metabolic reactions [47]. Open problems: a) the pathway of electrons during ECE reduction of anthracyclines, b) the photoreduction of anthracyclines, c) the reoxidation of anthracylinones producing cytotoxic H2O2.…”
