Description

Rubitecan [Orathecin™] is a topoisomerase I inhibitor extracted from the bark and leaves of the Camptotheca acuminata tree, which is native to China. Rubitecan is an oral compound being developed for the treatment of pancreatic cancer and other solid tumours by SuperGen. Rubitecan binds to and inhibits the enzyme topoisomerase I and induces protein-linked DNA single-strand breaks, thereby blocking DNA and RNA synthesis in dividing cells; this agent also prevents repair of reversible single-strand DNA breaks.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
In phase I clinical trial 9-aminocamptothecin was administered intravenously as a 72-hour infusion. Different administration schedules were investigated in phase II trials.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
In Vitro Use Guide
In vitro anti-tumor efficacy of 9-aminocamptothecin (9-AC) was measured using growth inhibition assay in L1210 murine leukemia cells. 9-AC inhibited the proliferation of L1210 cells by 50% upon continues exposure at a concentration of 0.9 uM.
