Hydroxycamptothecin injection

Function and Efficacy

Hydroxycamptothecin is a cytotoxic anti-tumor drug. It is a cell cycle-specific drug that mainly acts in the S phase and selectively inhibits DNA topoisomerase I (TOPOI). TOPOI catalyzes the unwinding of supercoiled DNA for replication and transcription. This product inhibits the activity of TOPOI, thereby blocking DNA replication and transcription and interfering with the tumor cell proliferation cycle. Recent research literature suggests that hydroxycamptothecin may also induce tumor cell differentiation and apoptosis.
