Abstract

AB - Anthracycline antibiotics (e.g. doxorubicin and daunorubicin) are among the most effective and widely used anticancer drugs. Unfortunately, their clinical use is limited by the dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. Flavonoids represent a potentially attractive class of compounds to mitigate the anthracycline cardiotoxicity due to their iron-chelating, anti
