description

Summary Adriamycin, a new antitumour drug structurally similar to daunomycin, shows evident spectrophotofluorometric characteristics. A technique previously employed by Kohn for tetracyclines is proposed by the present workers for the identification and estimation of adriamycin in tissues. Furthermore, a transformation of the molecule was revealed in some organs, using the same technique.
