In addition to their valuable qualities, antineoplastic anthracycline antibiotics have a number of drawbacks, high cardiotoxicity being the most significant. Many studies on the synthesis of anthracyclines and chemical modifications of natural antibiotics to produce derivatives with better therapeutic properties have been done. Such research and its results is reviewed and discussed, including in vitro and in vivo studies on tumors of humans and experimental animals (e.g., rats, mice, dogs).
