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.

Pharmacokinetics and lactone/carboxylate equilibrium of 9-Nitrocamptothecin (9-NC) were compared after intravenous (i.v.) and intramuscular (i.m.) injection at a dose of 1.5mg/kg 9-NC solution. The concentrations of three different forms of 9-NC, namely lactone, carboxylate and total 9-NC, were measured by
