Abstract excerpt
Originally isolated from natural products, camptothecin (CPT) has provided extensive playing fields for the development of antitumor drugs. Two of the most successful analogs of CPT, topotecan and irinotecan, have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of colon cancer and ovarian cancer, as well as other cancers. However, the emergence of drug resistance mutations in topoisomerase I is a big challenge for the...
