Topoisomerase Inhibitors and Types of Them
Objective: In this paper, we have introduced topoisomerase inhibitors, mechanism of action and types of them. DNA topoisomerases are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze essential enzymes to solve the topological problems accompanying key nuclear processes such as DNA replication, transcription, repair and chromatin assembly by introducing temporary single or double strand breaks in the DNA. Result...

متن کاملTopoisomerase II Inhibitors in Cancer Treatment
Topoisomerase II constitutes a family of nuclear enzymes essential to all living cells. These enzymes are capable of transferring one DNA double helix through a transient break in another DNA double helix. Type II topoisomerases play important roles in DNA metabolic processes, in which they are involved in DNA replication, transcription, chromosome condensation and de-condensation. Topoisomeras...
متن کاملAltered DNA topoisomerase II activity in Chinese hamster cells resistant to topoisomerase II inhibitors.
Most DNA intercalators and epipodophyllotoxins inhibit mammalian topoisomerase II by trapping the enzyme within DNA cleavage complexes that can be detected in cells as protein-associated DNA strand breaks. We have characterized previously a line of Chinese hamster cells (DC3F/9-OHE cells) the resistance of which to the cytotoxic effect of intercalators and etoposide is associated with a reduced...
متن کاملSynthetic inhibitors of DNA topoisomerase I and II.
A new type of synthetic inhibitor of DNA topoisomerase I and II was examined and several of these derivatives exhibited strong dual activity against these enzymes. This series of compounds showed high cytotoxic activities against cancer cells, but only a limited number of compounds showed any noticeable activity in an in vivo test against murine P388. Non-specific toxicity was observed in the i...
