Current advances of endophytes as a platform for production of anti-cancer drug camptothecin.

Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2021
Camptothecin (CPT), a well-known monoterpenoid indole alkaloid with broad-spectrum anti-cancer activity, is produced from plants and endophytes. In view of the limitations of plants as sources of camptothecin in productivity and efficiency, endophytes ...

Camptothecin-Grafted DNA Tetrahedron as Precise Nanomedicine to Inhibit the Tumor Growth.

Angewandte Chemie, 2019
Most chemotherapeutics are hydrophobic molecules and need to be converted into hydrophilic form before administration. Based on the excellent hydrophilicity and programmability of DNA, herein, we report a general strategy to construct a precise drug ...

Targeted metabolic engineering of committed steps improves anti-cancer drug camptothecin production in Ophiorrhiza pumila hairy roots

, 2020
Camptothecin (CPT) is a natural compound with remarkable antitumor activities due to its special mechanism of inhibiting DNA topoisomerase I. Ophiorrhiza pumila was found to produce camptothecin.

Mechanisms of Resistance to Camptothecins

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2000
Abstract:Camptothecins are broad‐spectrum anticancer drugs that specifically target DNA topoisomerase I. Although the availability of camptothecins has had a significant impact on cancer therapeutics, de novo or acquired clinical resistance to camptothecins is common.

Camptothecin Delivery Methods

Pharmaceutical Research, 2002
Camptothecin has shown significant antitumor activity to lung, ovarian, breast, pancreas, and stomach cancers. Camptothecin, however, like a number of other potent anticancer agents such as paclitaxel, is extremely water insoluble. Furthermore, pharmacology studies have determined that prolonged schedules of administration given continuously are ...

Mechanism of Action of Camptothecin

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2000
Abstract:Camptothecin (CPT) class of compounds has been demonstrated to be effective against a broad spectrum of tumors. Their molecular target has been firmly established to be human DNA topoisomerase I (topo I). CPT inhibits topo I by blocking the rejoining step of the cleavage/religation reaction of topo‐I, resulting in accumulation of a covalent ...
