Biochem/physiol Actions
Topoisomerase I inhibitor. Rubitecan induces protein- linked DNA single strand breaks, blocking DNA and RNA synthesis in dividing cells. This mode of action makes rubitecan a potential chemotherapeutic agent, and it has been used with some success against refractory pancreatic cancer.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity and pharmacokinetics of total and lactone forms of 9-nitrocamptothecin (9-NC), an effective antineoplastic drug, after intravenous injection of drug incorporated into poly (DL-lactic-glycolic acid) nanoparticles (NPs). Drug-loaded NPs (9-NC.NP) were

9-Nitrocamptothecin (9-NC), a newly developed camptothecin derivative, had poor solubility in any pharmaceutically acceptable solvents. One way of improving the solubility is to formulate the drug into liposomes. However, 9-NC has low affinity to lipid membranes resulting in a very

The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and anti-tumor effect of 9-nitro-camptothecin/hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (9-NC/HP-β-CD) complex on tumor-bearing mice. The in vitro anti-tumor activity was tested by MTT assay. Our study revealed that the 9-NC/HP-β-CD complex showed significant anti-tumor

Resistance to topoisomerase (topo) I inhibitors has been related to down-regulation of nuclear target enzyme, whereas sensitization to topo II inhibitors may result from induction of topo II by topo I inhibitors. Here, we evaluated a sequence-specific administration of a
