NCIt definition : A peptide agonist of the gonadotropin releasing hormone-1 receptor (GnRH-1R) that
is conjugated to the anthracycline antibiotic doxorubicin with potential antineoplastic
activity. Zoptarelin doxorubicin binds to GnRH-1Rs, which may be highly expressed
on endometrial and ovarian tumor cell membrane surfaces, and is internalized. Once
inside the cell, the doxorubicin moiety of this agent intercalates into DNA and inhibits
the topoisomerase II activity, which may result in the inhibition of tumor cell DNA
replication and tumor cell proliferation.;
