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 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 کاملMutagenic activity of topoisomerase I inhibitors
Topoisomerase I-directed agents are now in Phase I and II clinical trials and show great promise as potentially important agents for cancer chemotherapy. Because of their mechanism of action they may also be potential mutagens; however, their mutagenicity and oncogenicity still remain to be elucidated. We have previously shown that VP-16, a topoisomerase II-directed agent, induces sister chroma...
متن کاملDNA topoisomerase inhibitors: biflavonoids from Ouratea species.
Topoisomerase inhibitors are agents with anticancer activity. 7"-O-Methyl-agathisflavone (I) and amentoflavone (II) are biflavonoids and were isolated from the Brazilian plants Ouratea hexasperma and O. semiserrata, respectively. These biflavonoids and the acetyl derivative of II (IIa) are inhibitors of human DNA topoisomerases I at 200 microM, as demonstrated by the relaxation assay of superco...
