Camptothecin is a selective inhibitor of topoisomerase I with IC50 value of 679 nM [1].
Camptothecin could induce cell death in SMMC-7721, MCF-7, and HCT-116 tumor cells. Camptothecin has been reported to induce autophagy via AMPK-TSC2-mTOR pathway, at the mean time, induce premature senescence by ATM-Chk2-p53-p21 pathway [2].
Studies indicated that camptothecin had anti-tumor activity in (non-small cell lung cancer) NSCLC xenografts. Camptothecin -induced DNA damage has revealed to cause phosphorylation of H2AX (γH2AX). Previous studies have also demonstrated to reduce the expression of Top1 in cancer cells treated with camptothecins [3].
