CPT-11 in human colon-cancer cell lines and xenografts: Characterization of cellular sensitivity determinants
27 Jan 1997
Abstract excerpt
CPT-11, a new semisynthetic derivative of camptothecin, is active in a number of tumor types in the clinic, including colon cancer. CPT-11 is a drug that is converted into the active metabolite SN-38 by a carboxylesterase. Experiments were performed to obtain more insight in the cellular characteristics in 5 unselected human colon-cancer cell lines that account for the differential sensitivity to CPT-11 and...
