Interactions between the Etoposide Derivative F14512 and Human Type II Topoisomerases: Implications for the C4 Spermine Moiety in Promoting Enzyme-Mediated DNA Cleavage
17 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
F14512 is a novel etoposide derivative that contains a spermine in place of the C4 glycosidic moiety. The drug was designed to exploit the polyamine transport system that is upregulated in some cancers. However, a preliminary study suggests that it is also a more efficacious topoisomerase II poison than etoposide [Barret et al. (2008) Cancer Res. 68, 9845-9853]. Therefore, we undertook a more complete study of...
