RE: AVA6000: Targeted Doxorubicin Delivery for Antitumor Activity25 Apr 2024 14:11
Doxorubicin, a frontline drug used in cancer treatment, has been employed for over 30 years. While it can cure certain cases, it also poses toxicity risks to major organs, particularly life-threatening cardiotoxicity. This toxicity necessitates dose-limiting treatment1.
Here are some key points about doxorubicin distribution:
Initial Distribution Half-Life: Approximately 5 minutes, indicating rapid tissue uptake.
Terminal Half-Life: 20 to 48 hours, reflecting slow elimination from tissues.
