NCIt definition : An anthracenyl bishydrazone with antineoplastic activity. Bisantrene intercalates
with and disrupts the configuration of DNA, resulting in DNA single-strand breaks,
DNA-protein crosslinking, and inhibition of DNA replication. This agent is similar
to doxorubicin in activity, but unlike doxorubicin, does not exhibit cardiotoxicity.
