sodium camptothecin

Sodium Camptothecin is a plant alkaloid with antitumor activity. Sodium Camptothecin is a reversible RNA synthesis inhibitor. Sodium Camptothecin is an effective adenovirus replication inhibitor. Sodium Camptothecin inhibits DNA synthesis and causes breaks in intracellular preformed viral DNA.

Camptothecin-D5 is a deuterated derivative of Camptothecin (T1123) (CPT), an alkaloid and an inhibitor of DNA topoisomerase I (Topo I) with an IC50 value of 679 nM. Camptothecin (T1123) (CPT) exhibits potent antitumor activity against colorectal, breast, lung, and ovarian cancers by modulating the expression pattern of miRNA and regulating the activity of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in human cancer cells.

Camptothecin (CPT) belongs to the alkaloid group of natural products and is a specific DNA topoisomerase I (Topo I) inhibitor (IC50=679 nM) with specificity. Camptothecin has antitumor activity and induces apoptosis.
