A New Antitumor Agent Amrubicin Induces Cell Growth Inhibition by Stabilizing Topoisomerase II‐DNA Complex
1 Nov 1998
Abstract excerpt
Amrubicin is a novel, completely synthetic 9-aminoanthracycline derivative. Amrubicin and its C-13 alcohol metabolite, amrubicinol, inhibited purified human DNA topoisomerase II (topo II). Compared with doxorubicin (DXR), amrubicin and amrubicinol induced extensive DNA-protein complex formation and double-strand DNA breaks in CCRF-CEM cells and KU-2 cells. In this study, we found that ICRF-193, a topo II...
