Doxorubicin Market Estimated to Flourish by Forecast 2017 - 2025

 

Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/17/2018 -- Doxorubicin is the generic drug name for anti-cancer chemotherapy drug Adriamycin and Rubex. Doxorubicin is an anthracycline antibiotic and belongs to the group of anti-cancer medication known as antineoplastic and is made from the natural product produced by bacterium Streptomyces peucetius var. caesius. It is used for the treatment of different types of cancer including breast, stomach, ovary, bone, testicles, bladder, lung, soft tissue, osteogenic sarcoma, Wilms’ tumor, and Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas. It is also used less commonly in the treatment of squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. Vagina and cervix, refractory multiple myeloma, and neuroblastoma. Doxorubicin inhibits and or slows the rate of proliferation of cancerous cells by intercalating between the base pairs in the DNA helix, thereby preventing DNA replication and inhibiting protein synthesis. This medication is available in injection solution and lyophilized powder form and is administered intravenously either through peripheral inserted central line catheters (PICC) or central venous catheters (CVC). The dosage of this medication depends on the type and severity of cancer, and type of other medication used during treatments and is most commonly scheduled at 21 days of every dosage.

The global doxorubicin market is anticipated to expand at a higher growth rate owing to increasing prevalence of cancer patients worldwide. According to the WHO, cancer is the leading cause of death globally, accounting 8.8 million deaths in 2015. The number of new cases is expected to increase by 70% in the next two decades. The global market for this drug is also expected to be driven by increasing use in the treatment of HIV-associated Kaposi sarcoma. HIV-associated Kaposi sarcoma has markedly increased in countries in Africa and the West in the last two decades. On the other hand, doxorubicin medication can cause life threatening conditions such as heart failure during therapy or sometimes after months or years after treatment. Additionally, it can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and reddish urine after one to two days of treatment. These side effects, specifically cardio toxicity, imposes a limitation on the use of doxorubicin and creates an opportunity for development of lipid based (liposome) formulations with improved therapeutic index of conventional doxorubicin.
