Idarubicinol is a 13-dihydro (13-OH) metabolite of idarubicin (sc-204774) which may play an important role in the clinical efficacy of idarubicin in patients with acute leukemia. Idarubicinol persists in the blood for prolonged periods after the administration of idarubicin, and is strongly cytotoxic against HL60 cells (human leukemia cells). Reduction of idarubicin in vivo is dependent upon ketone reductases, and proceeds more stereoselectively than that of most ketones giving rise to the (13S)-epimer almost exclusively. The effects of idarubicin and its metabolite idarubicinol on multicellular spheroids, a model which mimics the microregions of solid tumors has also been investigated on MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Idarubicin and idarubicinol have significant cytotoxic activity against multicellular spheroids.
