Topoisomerase I activity and sensitivity to camptothecin in breast cancer-derived cells: a comparative study
29 Nov 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Camptothecin (CPT) and its derivatives are currently used as second- or third-line treatment for patients with endocrine-resistant breast cancer (BC). These drugs convert nuclear enzyme DNA topoisomerase I (TOP1) to a cell poison with the potential to damage DNA by increasing the half-life of TOP1-DNA cleavage complexes (TOP1cc), ultimately resulting in cell death. In small and non-randomized trials...
