Abstract excerpt
Carbonyl reductases (CBRs) are a group of metabolic enzymes belonging to the short-chain dehydrogenase family with NADPH-dependent oxidoreductase activity. These enzymes are known to metabolize the anthracyclines doxorubicin (DOX) and daunorubicin (DAUN). Both DOX and DAUN are highly effective in cancer therapy; however, there is considerable interpatient variability in adverse effects seen in patients undergoing...
