The role of single strand break repair pathways in cellular responses to camptothecin induced DNA damage
6 Feb 2020
Abstract excerpt
Efficient DNA repair is critical for cell survival following exposure to DNA topoisomerase I (Top1) inhibitors camptothecin, a nature product from which the common chemotherapeutic drugs irinotecan and topotecan are derived. The camptothecin-derived agents exert their antitumor activities by specifically stabilizing the Top1-DNA covalent complexes (Top1cc) and blocking the DNA religation step. When exposed to...
