title: The acute effect of doxorubicin and its analogue--4'-epidoxorubicin on circulatory system in rabbits.
abstract: The acute influence of doxorubicin (DXR) and its analogue - 4'-epidoxorubicin (4'-epiDXR) on cardiovascular system in rabbits was compared. A single intravenous dose of DXR (1 and 3 mg/kg) did not affect the cardiac index, stroke index and heart rate, but reduced the mean arterial blood pressure and total peripheral resistance. In contrast, 4-epiDXR, in the same doses, did not affect any of the hemodynamic parameters.
