Mechanisms of mitoxantrone in multiple sclerosis--what is known?
Abstract
The recent publication of the MIMS-study (Mitoxantrone In Multiple Sclerosis) and the approval of several health authorities support the use of mitoxantrone in patients with active relapsing-remitting or secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. This review provides information on data thus far present on the putative mechanisms of action of mitoxantrone in the immunopathogenesis of this disabling disease.
