Idarubicin is an anthracycline antineoplastic agent used primarily in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in adults and children. It is a cytotoxic antibiotic that intercalates into DNA, disrupting DNA replication and repair. Idarubicin is approved for medical use in several countries and remains a standard treatment in combination chemotherapy regimens for hematological malignancies.
Pharmacokinetic parameters in adult patients with acute leukemia following intravenous administration. Population PK studies most frequently report two-compartmental models.
