F. Arcamone

First author of the 1969 Biotechnology and Bioengineering paper reporting adriamycin, and of the 1975 and 1976 papers on the synthesis of 4'-epi-adriamycin and 4-demethoxydaunorubicin. A 1984 review in his name describes a research programme begun in 1972 that led to epirubicin, idarubicin and esorubicin.
