Abstract excerpt
Anticancer drugs targeted to the nuclear enzyme DNA topoisomerase II are classified as poisons that lead to DNA breaks or catalytic inhibitors that appear to completely block enzyme activity. To examine the effects of the bisdioxopiperazine class of catalytic inhibitors to topoisomerase II, we investigated a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) subline selected for resistance to ICRF-159 (CHO/159-1). Topoisomerase IIalpha...
