Picoliter-volume inkjet printing into planar microdevice reservoirs for low-waste, high-capacity drug loading. [PDF]
Oral delivery of therapeutics is the preferred route for systemic drug administration due to ease of access and improved patient compliance. However, many therapeutics suffer from low oral bioavailability due to low pH and enzymatic conditions, poor ...

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.

A coupled drug kinetics-cell cycle model to analyse the response of human cells to intervention by topotecan [PDF]
A model describing the response of the growth of single human cells in the absence and presence of the anti-cancer agent topotecan (TPT) is presented. The model includes a novel coupling of both the kinetics of TPT and cell cycle responses to the agent ...

Carboplatin +/- topotecan ophthalmic artery chemosurgery for intraocular retinoblastoma. [PDF]
PURPOSE: Carboplatin administered systemically or periocularly can result in dramatic and prompt regression of retinoblastoma. However, both routes are rarely curative alone and have undesirable side effects.

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.

Targeted antiangiogenic agents in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy in preclinical and clinical studies in sarcoma. [PDF]
Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of mesenchymal malignancies. In recent years, studies have demonstrated that inhibition of angiogenic pathways or disruption of established vasculature can attenuate the growth of sarcomas.

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.
