However, it has subsequently been reevaluated[3] due to possible advantages over other chemotherapeutic drugs in the treatment of certain cancers such as acute myeloid leukemia.[4][5]

Soil bacteria Streptomyces galilaeus can produce aclarubicin.

It can induce histone eviction from chromatin upon intercalation.[6][7]
