Toxoflavins and Deazaflavins as the First Reported Selective Small Molecule Inhibitors of Tyrosyl-DNA Phosphodiesterase II
16 Jul 2013
Abstract excerpt
The recently discovered enzyme tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2) has been implicated in the topoisomerase-mediated repair of DNA damage. In the clinical setting, it has been hypothesized that TDP2 may mediate drug resistance to topoisomerase II (topo II) inhibition by etoposide. Therefore, selective pharmacological inhibition of TDP2 is proposed as a novel approach to overcome intrinsic or acquired...
