• Intercalating Agent: Epirubicin functions as an intercalating agent. It slips itself between the DNA double helix base pairs in your body's cells. In simpler terms, it disrupts DNA structure and prevents cancer cells from dividing and multiplying.

• Generation of Free Radicals: Epirubicin also generates free radicals, unstable molecules that can interact with cellular components and cause damage. In this case, they damage the DNA of cancer cells, thereby adding to its anti-cancer effects.
