Anthracenedione

Anthracenedione

The anthracenediones are antineoplastics used in the treatment of cancer. They are sometimes grouped with the anthracyclines.

As of 2008, the only anthracenedione available for clinical use is mitoxantrone. Pixantrone, a less toxic analogue of mitoxantrone, is in development.
