Targeting topoisomerase I: molecular mechanisms and cellular determinants of response to topoisomerase I inhibitors
9 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Topoisomerase I is required for DNA relaxation during critical cellular functions. The identification of camptothecins as specific enzyme inhibitors and their clinical efficacy have stimulated extensive efforts to exploit topoisomerase I as a tumor target and explain the putative mechanisms of antitumor-specific action. OBJECTIVE: This review provides an overview of the recent achievements in the...
