Info: An anticancer agent; intercalates into DNA and inhibits topoisomerase II; inhibits mitochondrial complex IV, also known as cytochrome c oxidase (IC50 = 70 µM for the potato enzyme); inhibits the growth of L1210 leukemia cells (IC50 = 0.076 µM); cytotoxic to primary human hepatocytes (IC50 = 4 µM); reduces glycogen synthesis, albumin synthesis, total protein synthesis, gluconeogenesis, triglyceride secretion, and ureogenesis in isolated rat hepatocytes (IC50s = 14.3, 15.4, 3, 28.8, 2.3, and 96.4 µM, respectively); increases survival in several murine models of cancer
