^NY (what is this?) (verify)

Amrubicin (INN; previously known as SM-5887) is an anthracycline used in the treatment of lung cancer.^[1] It is marketed in Japan since 2002 by Sumitomo under the brand name Calsed.^[2]

Amrubicin acts by inhibiting topoisomerase II, and has been compared in clinical trials with topotecan, a Topoisomerase I inhibitor.^[3]^[4]

It has also been studied for the treatment of bladder carcinoma^[5] and gastric cancer.^[6]

Amrubicin was the first anthracycline derivative created by de novo synthesis and was first published in 1989 by scientists from Sumitomo.^[7]
