Biochem/physiol Actions
Topoisomerase I inhibitor. Rubitecan induces protein- linked DNA single strand breaks, blocking DNA and RNA synthesis in dividing cells. This mode of action makes rubitecan a potential chemotherapeutic agent, and it has been used with some success against refractory pancreatic cancer.

9-Nitro-20(S)-camptothecin (9-NC) has achieved remarkable curative effect in anticancer research. However, the clinical application of 9-NC is largely hampered by its poor solubility and stability. In this paper, novel amphiphilic block copolymers derived from d,l-lactide, trimethylene carbonate, and methylated poly(ethylene

This study was designed to investigate in vitro release, in vivo tissue distribution and the damage to the lungs of 9-nitrocamptothecin (9-NC) liposomes. In vitro release of 9-NC from liposomes was carried out in phosphate buffer saline solution (PBS) pH

9-Nitrocamptothecin (9-NC) is an orally administered topoisomerase-I inhibitor for the treatment of pancreatic carcinoma, but its oral absorption and bioavailability are poor. The main objective of this study was to develop optimal 9-nitrocamptothecin (9-NC) microemulsion prepared by self-microemulsifying drug delivery

The purpose in this study was to investigate poly(ethylene glycol)-modified poly (d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticles (PLGA-PEG-NPs) loading 9-nitrocamptothecin (9-NC) as a potent anticancer drug. 9-NC is an analog of the natural plant alkaloid camptothecin that has shown high antitumor activity and is
