描述:
An alkaloid isolated from the stem wood of the Chinese tree, Camptotheca acuminata. This compound selectively inhibits the nuclear enzyme DNA TOPOISOMERASES, TYPE I. Several semisynthetic analogs of camptothecin have demonstrated antitumor activity.
溶解性:DMSO : 3 mg/mL (8.61 mM)
体外研究:
体内研究:[3H]BrCPT labeling of topoisomerase I is enhanced greatly by the presence of DNA; very little labeling of isolated topoisomerase I or isolated DNA occurrs. Even in the presence of DNA, [3H]BrCPT labeling of topoisomerase I is inhibited by camptothecin, suggesting that both CPT and BrCPT bind to the same site on the DNA-topoisomerase I binary complex. With increasing concentrations of camptothecin, closed circular pRR322 DNA (form I) is converted to nicked circular DNA (form 11). This apparent nicking activitv of camptothecin required DNA topoisomerase I.
