Abstract excerpt
The silatecan 7-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-10-hydroxy-camptothecin (DB-67) represents a new generation of camptothecin derivatives that exhibits a potent in vitro DNA topoisomerase I (TOP1)-mediated DNA-damaging activity, improved blood stability, and holds significant promise for the treatment of human cancers. In this study, we characterize the role of TOP1 in mediating the radiosensitization activity of DB-67. As...
