valrubicin
构词拆解
- -rubicin
- (pharmacology) Used to form names of daunorubicin derivatives used as antineoplastics.
词源说明
Blend of val(erate) (“ester of valeric acid”) + -rubicin (“daunorubicin derivative”).
However, the molecule is in fact a valerate analog of doxorubicin, not daunorubicin. Thus an etymology as val(erate) + (doxo)rubicin is plausible as well. See libfix for information on affixes such as -rubicin.
