Abstract
Adriamycin (synonym doxorubicin) is a glycoside antibiotic whose structure and stereochemistry are represented in Fig. 1 (formula I). It consists of the tetracyclic quinoid aglycone adriamycinone (14-hydroxydaunomycinone) linked to the amino- sugar daunosamine. The chemical name for adriamycin is therefore the following: (7S : 9S)-9-hydroxyacetyl-4-methoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-6,7,9, ll-tetrahydroxy-7-0- (2′3′6′-trideoxy-3′-amino-α-L-lyxohexopyranosyl)-5,12-naphthacenedione.
