title: Antiproliferative activity of doxorubicin and aminoanthraquinone derivatives on Chinese hamster ovary cells.
abstract: A study of the antiproliferative activity of doxorubicin and several substituted aminoanthraquinone derivatives on Chinese hamster ovary cells was conducted. Doxorubicin and a derivative each inhibited cell proliferation at low concentrations, the latter being more potent than doxorubicin. A structure-activity relationship of these compounds is discussed in connection with an earlier postulated N-O-O triangulation hypothesis.
