Anthracyclines, such as doxorubicin (adriamycin), daunorubicin, or epirubicin, rank among the most effective agents in classical anticancer chemotherapy. However, cardiotoxicity remains the main limitation of their clinical use. Topoisomerase IIβ has recently been identified as a plausible target of anthracyclines in cardiomyocytes.

Ebselen is a selenoorganic chiral compound with antioxidant properties comparable to glutathione peroxidase. It is also known as 2-phenyl-1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one. In studies examining its numerous pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anticancer, antiviral, and anti- Alzheimer's, ebselen has demonstrated promising results.

Daunorubicin (DNR-) induced cardiotoxicity seriously restricts its clinical application. Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily C member 6 (TRPC6) is involved in multiple cardiovascular physiological and pathophysiological processes. However, the role of TRPC6 anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) remains unclear.

Anthracycline antibiotics (ANT) are among the most widely used anticancer drugs. Unfortunately, their use is limited due to the development of drug resistance and cardiotoxicity. ANT metabolism, performed mainly by two enzymes-aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) and carbonyl reductase 1 (CBR1)-is one of the proposed mechanisms generated by the described effects.

Background: Anthracycline-induced heart failure has been traditionally attributed to direct iron-catalyzed oxidative damage. Dexrazoxane (DEX)-the only drug approved for its prevention-has been believed to protect the heart via its iron-chelating metabolite ADR-925. However, direct evidence is lacking, and recently proposed TOP2B (topoisomerase II beta) hypothesis challenged the original concept.
