Systematic Review of topotecan (Hycamtin) in relapsed small cell lung cancer
Background To undertake a systematic review of the available data for oral and intravenous topotecan in adults with relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC) for whom re-treatment with the first line regimen is not considered appropriate.

Kinetic modelling of the role of the aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme and the breast cancer resistance protein in drug resistance and transport [PDF]
A compartmental model for the in vitro uptake kinetics of the anti-cancer agent topotecan (TPT) has been extended from a previously published model. The extended model describes the drug activity and delivery of the pharmacologically active form to the ...

Structural and dynamical effects induced by the anticancer drug topotecan on the human topoisomerase I - DNA complex. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Human topoisomerase I catalyzes the relaxation of DNA supercoils in fundamental cell processes like transcription, replication and chromosomal segregation. It is the only target of the camptothecin family of anticancer drugs.

HIF inhibitor topotecan has a neuroprotective effect in a murine retinal ischemia-reperfusion model [PDF]
Purpose The therapeutic approach for retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration has not been fully established. Recently, it has been reported that hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) may be involved with retinal neurodegeneration.

Intravenous (IV) topotecan is approved for the treatment of various malignancies including lung cancer but its clinical use is greatly undermined by severe hematopoietic toxicity. We hypothesized that inhalation delivery of topotecan would increase local
