Abstract excerpt
A camptothecin-resistant cell line that exhibits more than 600-fold resistance to camptothecin, designated CPT(R)-2000, was established from mutagen-treated A2780 ovarian cancer cells. CPT(R)-2000 cells also exhibit 3-fold resistance to a DNA minor groove-binding ligand Ho33342, a different class of mammalian DNA topoisomerase I inhibitors. However, CPT(R)-2000 cells exhibit no cross-resistance toward drugs such...
