Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Carbonyl reductase 1 (CBR1) reduces the anticancer anthracyclines doxorubicin and daunorubicin into the cardiotoxic metabolites doxorubicinol and daunorubicinol. We evaluated whether the cardioprotectant monoHER inhibits the activity of polymorphic CBR1. METHODS: We performed enzyme kinetic studies with monoHER, CBR1 (CBR1 V88 and CBR1 I88) and anthracycline substrates. We also characterized CBR1...
