Abstract
Adriamycin cardiotoxicity was morphologically evaluated in mice treated i.v. 10 times at 3 dose levels which were equal to fixed fractions of the LD50. Good correlation between the degenerative heart lesions, scored according to a nonparametric scoring system, and the doses was found and allowed calculation of a median cumulative cardiotoxic dose of 36.4 mg/kg of body wt (121.5 mg/m2). The method is suitable for quantitative screening of the potential cardiotoxicity of new anthracycline analogs under standardized conditions.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
