However, in growth inhibition experiments, prodrug combinations were able to overcome Adriamycin resistance to varying degrees, and the combination of Adriamycin with selected prodrugs that release two moles of formaldehyde totally overcame resistance in HL60/MX2 cells.

The mechanism of doxorubicin is compared with that of doxazolidine, a doxorubicin-formaldehyde conjugate.
The IC (50) for doxazolidine growth inhibition of HL-60/MX2 cells, a topoisomerase II deficient derivative of HL-60 cells, is 1420-fold lower than the IC (50) for doxorubicin, and doxazolidine induces apoptosis 15-fold better.
