An alkylating camptothecin (CPT) derivative, 7-chloromethyl-10,11-methylenedioxy-camptothecin (7-CM-MDO-CPT) was recently shown to produce irreversible topoisomerase I (top1) cleavage complexes by binding to the +1 base of the scissile strand of a top1 cleavage site. We demonstrate that 7-CM-EDO-CPT (7-chloromethyl-10,11-ethylenedioxy-camptothecin) also induces irreversible top1-DNA complexes. ...

background: cuffed pharyngeal tube is a device designed for ventilation of anesthetized patients. cpt has advantages over face mask including: maintaining of face mask can be difficult and boring after several minutes and mobility of the practitioner is reduced due to involvement of hands. mask pressure can cause soft tissue and nerve damage around the nose. anesthetic gas leakage from the mask...

DNA topoisomerase I (topo I) has been identified as a principal target of a plant alkaloid camptothecin (CPT) and its derivative (CPT-11). The latter compound is expected to be a clinically useful antitumor agent. Three human tumor cell lines resistant to CPT (A549/CPT, HT-29/CPT, St-4/CPT) were isolated in vitro, and a murine tumor cell line resistant to CPT-11 (P388/CPT) was isolated in vivo ...

water soluble chitosan oligosaccharide (cho) was hydrophobically modified with camptothecin (cpt) in different molar ratios of cpt, and characterized by ft-ir and 1 h-nmr spectroscopy. nanomicelles prepared by these copolymers were analyzed for size, zeta, and length of time they remain stable. the critical micelle concentration (cmc) and dissociation of micelles at physiological ph and acidic ...

Camptothecin (CPT), a traditional anti-tumor drug, has been shown to possess anti-HIV-1 activity. To increase the antiviral potency, the anti-HIV activities of two CPT derivatives, 10-hydroxy-CPT and 7-hydroxymethyl-CPT, were evaluated in vitro. The therapy index (TI) of CPT, 10-hydroxy-CPT and 7-hydroxymethyl-CPT against HIV-1(IIIB) in C8166 were 24.2, 4.2 and 198.1, and against clinical isola...

background: functional defects in mitochondria are involved in the induction of cell death in cancer cells. the process of programmed cell death may occur through the mechanisms of apoptosis. several potential lead molecules such as camptothecin (cpt) and its analogues have been isolated from plants with anticancer effect. the aim of the present study was to understand the necrotic effect versu...
