Targeting Oxidative Stress, NLRP3 Inflammasome, and Autophagy by Fraxetin to Combat Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity

Doxorubicin belongs to the class of anthracycline antibiotics that is widely used in the treatment protocols of a wide range of malignancies. The major deleterious effect of doxorubicin use is the possible occurrence of cardiotoxicity. This study aimed to delineate the possible effects of targeting...
