DistributionWidely distributed in tissues, with highest concentrations in liver, heart, lungs, kidneys, and spleen. Does not cross blood-brain barrier significantly.
Protein BindingApproximately 70-80% bound to plasma proteins.
MetabolismPrimarily metabolized in the liver by aldo-keto reductases to doxorubicinol (active metabolite) and other metabolites. Also undergoes reduction and deglycosylation.
Half-LifeTriphasic: initial half-life 12 minutes, intermediate 3.3 hours, terminal 20-48 hours.
ExcretionPrimarily biliary excretion (40-50% as unchanged drug and metabolites). Renal excretion accounts for 5-12%.
Bioavailability100% (intravenous). Oral bioavailability <5%.
Onset of ActionRapid, within minutes of IV administration.
Peak Plasma TimeImmediately after IV bolus.
Duration of ActionVariable, depends on cell cycle; effects persist for weeks due to DNA intercalation.
