Iron-catalyzed free radical reactions, such as the peroxidation of membrane lipids or the inactivation of critical enzymes, have been implicated in the cardiotoxicity of Adriamycin. Fe3+ reduction is an important step in both processes. The reduction of Fe3+, Fe3+ ADP, or Fe3(+)-ferritin by rabbit heart microsomes, Adriamycin, and NADPH was 10% inhibited by ICRF-187 (ADR-529) in N2 and 77% inhibited by ICRF-198, the hydrolysis product of ICRF-159 (the racemic form of ICRF-187). Lipid peroxidation and CaATPase inactivation catalyzed by Fe3+, Fe3+ ADP, or Fe3(+)-ferritin were substantially inhibited by ICRF-198 but only partially inhibited by ICRF-187. The cardioprotective action of ICRF-187 during Adriamycin treatment may be a result of its hydrolysis to the d isomer of ICRF-198 which inhibits reduction of Fe3+, thus limiting the role of iron in tissue damaging free radical reactions.

The ability of the metal ion binding rings-opened hydrolysis product of the anthracycline cardioprotective agent ICRF-187 [dexrazoxane; (+)-1,2-bis(3,5-dioxopiperazinyl-1-yl)propane] to remove iron from transferrin and ferritin, and copper from ceruloplasmin was examined. ADR-925 completely removed Fe3+ from transferrin at below physiological pH but was unreactive at pH 7.4. ADR-925 slowly removed copper from ceruloplasmin at physiological pH (68% removal after 4.8 days). ADR-925 was capable of removing 18% of the iron from ferritin in 7.0 days. All of the metalloproteins displayed saturation behavior in their initial rates of metal ion removal by ADR-925. ICRF-187 may be, in part, preventing doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by depleting iron and copper from these storage and transport proteins or by scavenging metal ions released from these proteins, thus inhibiting hydroxyl radical production by iron-doxorubicin complexes.
