Hydroxycamptothecin for injection

Function and Efficacy

Hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) is a cell cycle-specific drug that mainly acts in the S phase. Recently, it has been found to have a targeted and selective inhibitory effect on DNA topoisomerase I, which catalyzes the unwinding of supercoiled DNA for replication and transcription. This product inhibits TOPOI and inhibits the replication and transcription of cancer cells. This product has no obvious cross-resistance with other commonly used anticancer drugs.
