title: Effect of antioxidants on adriamycin-induced microsomal lipid peroxidation.
abstract: Adriamycin (25 microM) stimulated NADPH-dependent microsomal lipid peroxidation about fourfold over control values. The tested antioxidants, zinc, superoxide dismutase, vitamin E, and desferrioxamine (Desferal) inhibited Adriamycin-enhanced lipid peroxidation to varying degrees. Others antioxidants, e.g., glutathione, catalase, and selenium, were found to have no effects. Our in vitro studies suggest that adriamycin effect is mediated by a complex oxyradical cascade involving superoxide, hydroxyl radical, and small amounts of iron.
