Abstract excerpt
Topoisomerase I inhibitors of the camptothecin (CPT) family have emerged as potent clinical chemotherapeutic agents in first-line treatment of solid colorectal cancer and in second-line for 5-fluorouracil resistant patients. CPT and homocamptothecin (hCPT), derivative with enhanced lactone stability, induced growth inhibition in HT29 cells via p53-independent apoptosis. hCPT- and CPT-induced apoptosis was...
