Mitoxantrone is an anticancer drug that is used to treat various types of cancer. Mitoxantrone is a prodrug, which means it needs to be metabolized by the body to become active. The main metabolic pathway for mitoxantrone involves hydrolysis of the 2-hydroxyethyl piperazine impurity and formation of N-desmethylmitoxantrone, which is a metabolite that has been found to be more potent than the parent compound in inhibiting DNA synthesis. This impurity standard is used as a reference substance for quality control purposes during drug development. Mitoxantrone can also be synthesized with high purity and custom synthesis services are available upon request.
