Mitoxantrone-d₈ hydrochloride  (Synonyms: Mitozantrone-d₈ hydrochloride; NSC 301739-d₈ hydrochloride)

Mitoxantrone-d₈ (hydrochloride) (Mitozantrone-d₈ (hydrochloride)) is deuterium labeled Mitoxantrone (dihydrochloride). Mitoxantrone dihydrochloride is a potent topoisomerase II inhibitor. Mitoxantrone dihydrochloride also inhibits protein kinase C (PKC) activity with an IC₅₀ of 8.5 μM. Mitoxantrone dihydrochloride induces apoptosis of B-CLL (B-chronic lymphocytic leukaemia) cells. Mitoxantrone dihydrochloride shows antitumor activity^[1][2][3][4]. Mitoxantrone dihydrochloride also has anti-orthopoxvirus activity with EC₅₀s of 0.25 μM and and 0.8 μM for cowpox and monkeypox, respectively^[5].

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs.
