Pegadria 20mg injection is a new class of drug formulations delivered in vesicles called liposomes. The mechanism of action of doxorubicin HCl is related to its ability to bind DNA and inhibit nucleic acid synthesis. Studies have demonstrated that the drug penetrates rapidly into the cell, binds to certain proteins in DNA, and thereby inhibits cell division and nucleic acid synthesis.
