Abstrakt: Aims The use of doxorubicin (DOX) as a chemotherapeutic agent is limited by cardiac injury. Iloprost, a stable synthetic analogue of prostacyclin, has previously been shown to protect against DOX-induced cardiomyocyte injury in vitro. Here, we addressed whether iloprost is cardioprotective in vivo and whether it compromises the anti-tumour efficacy of DOX. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
