Berubicin (Cat No.: I040080) is a potent anthracycline chemotherapeutic agent designed to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), making it a promising candidate for glioblastoma and other brain tumor treatments. Unlike traditional anthracyclines, it effectively targets CNS malignancies by inhibiting topoisomerase II, leading to DNA damage and apoptosis in cancer cells. With strong anti-tumor activity and improved CNS penetration, Berubicin is under investigation for neuro-oncology drug development, offering potential advancements in brain cancer therapy and precision medicine for difficult-to-treat tumors.
