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.

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 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

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
