Identification of early gene expression changes in primary cultured neurons treated with topoisomerase I poisons. [PDF]
Topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) poisons like camptothecin (CPT) are currently used in cancer chemotherapy but these compounds can have damaging, off-target effects on neurons leading to cognitive, sensory and motor deficits.

Docking and QSAR Studies of Camptothecin Derivatives as Inhibitor of DNA Topoisomerase-I [PDF]
Camptothecin (CPT) is a cytotoxic quinoline alkaloid which inhibits the DNA enzyme Topoisomerase-I (Topo-I) and has shown remarkable anticancer activity in preliminary clinical trials. The major limitation is its low solubility and high adverse reaction.

Failure to detect "cap" structures in mitochondrial DNA-coded poly(A)-containing RNA from HeLa cells [PDF]
The structure of the 5'-termini has been investigated in mitochondrial DNA- coded poly(A)-containing RNA from HeLa cells. For this purpose, mitochondrial RNA isolated from cells labeled for 3 hours with [32P]orthophosphate in the presence of 20 µg/ml ...

Preclinical Results of Camptothecin-Polymer Conjugate (IT-101) in Multiple Human Lymphoma Xenograft Models [PDF]
Purpose: Camptothecin (CPT) has potent broad-spectrum antitumor activity by inhibiting type I DNA topoisomerase (DNA topo I). It has not been used clinically because it is water-insoluble and highly toxic.

Camptothecin derivatives are precursors of potent anticancer agents, but their biosynthesis remains largely unknown. Here two cytochrome P450 monooxygenases are shown to regiospecifically oxidize camptothecin, yielding 10- and 11- hydroxylated ...

Mitochondria-Targeted Delivery of Camptothecin Based on HPMA Copolymer for Metastasis Suppression
Poor anti-metastasis effects and side-effects remain a challenge for the clinical application of camptothecin (CPT). Mitochondria can be a promising target for the treatment of metastatic tumors due to their vital roles in providing energy supply ...
