  • Title: Effect of aclarubicin and doxorubicin on rat liver mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.
    Author: Shinozawa S, Gomita Y, Araki Y.
    Journal: Physiol Chem Phys Med NMR; 1991; 23(2):101-6. PubMed ID: 1946695.
    Abstract:
    The effects of Aclarubicin (aclacinomycin A; ACM) and Doxorubicin (adriamycin; ADM) on oxidative phosphorylation in rat liver mitochondria were studied in vitro. The state 3 oxygen uptake of mitochondria was reduced by only 2% by 20 microM of ADM, while the same concentration of ACM caused a 67% reduction. When 20 microM of ADM acted on state 4a oxygen uptake of mitochondria, only a slight decrease in state 3, state 4b, dinitrophenol-stimulated respiration and the respiratory control index was observed. In contrast 20 microM of ACM caused significant inhibition of all the above factors when compared with the controls. It was concluded that ACM has strong inhibitory action on the mitochondrial electron transfer system in vitro, and that one can expect functional failure of mitochondria to occur clinically during adverse response to the administration of this drug.
