Description

3,3-Dioctadecyloxacarbocyanine perchlorate (DOXO) is a cancer drug that has been shown to be effective in treating breast cancer. It is an organic compound that is synthesized from retinol, the active form of vitamin A. This drug can cause severe side effects and interactions with other drugs. Women who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant should not take this drug because it may cause birth defects. The drug also accumulates in the skin and mucous membranes, so it should not be used for long periods of time. 3,3-Dioctadecyloxacarbocyanine perchlorate is used as a fluorescent marker for microglia cells, which are cells that help protect the brain and central nervous system against infection and disease.
