A switching mechanism in doxorubicin bioactivation can be exploited to control doxorubicin toxicity.

Although doxorubicin toxicity in cancer cells is multifactorial, the enzymatic bioactivation of the drug can significantly contribute to its cytotoxicity. Previous research has identified most of the components that comprise the doxorubicin bioactivation network; however, adaptation of the network t...
