List of results

• WBR247  + (Irinotecan and topotecan are camptothecin … Irinotecan and topotecan are camptothecin analogs approved for clinical use in colorectal, ovarian, and small cell lung cancer. Camptothecins stabilize the normally transient DNA-topoisomerase I cleavable complex and cause an irreversible double-strand DNA break during replication.

Camptothecin analogs inhibit topoisomerase I, while anthracyclines, epipodophyllotoxins, and acridines inhibit topoisomerase II.</br></br></br>DNA topoisomerases are nuclear enzymes that reduce torsional stress in supercoiled DNA, allowing selected regions of DNA to become sufficiently untangled for replication, repair, and transcription.
