The Efficacy of Topoisomerase II-Targeted Anticancer Agents Reflects the Persistence of Drug-Induced Cleavage Complexes in Cells
16 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
Genistein, a widely consumed bioflavonoid with chemopreventative properties in adults, and etoposide, a commonly prescribed anticancer drug, are well-characterized topoisomerase II poisons. Although both compounds display similar potencies against human topoisomerase IIalpha and IIbeta in vitro and induce comparable levels of DNA cleavage complexes in cultured human cells, their cytotoxic and genotoxic effects...
