Banoxantrone dihydrochloride (AQ4N) is an alkylaminoanthraquinone-di-N-oxide anticancer prodrug, potentiates the anti-tumour effect of cisplatin, AQ4N is metabolised in hypoxic cells by cytochrome P450s (CYPs) to the cytotoxin AQ4, which is a stable, DNA-affinic compound and potent topoisomerase II inhibitor.
