Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including http://www.ema.europa.eu/docs/en_GB/document_library/Application_withdrawal_assessment_report/2010/01/WC500069806.pdf

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.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Has low CSF penetration in nonhuman primates

Originator

Curator's Comment: SuperGen acquired exclusive worldwide rights to rubitecan from the Stehlin Foundation in 1997 except in Mexico, Canada, Spain, Japan, the UK, France, Italy and Germany. SuperGen has also received approval from the US FDA to use its own manufactured rubitecan in clinical trials. In December 1999, SuperGen and Abbott signed a worldwide sales and marketing agreement for rubitecan. Under the terms of the agreement, Abbott had exclusive distribution and promotion rights for rubitecan outside the US, and copromotion rights with SuperGen within the US.

Sample Use Guides

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
Curator's Comment: After in-vitro exposure to 0.05 micromol/L 9-nitrocamptothecin (9NC) for periods of time longer than 5 days, 65% to 80% of the human malignant melanoma SB1B cells die by apoptosis, whereas the remaining cells are arrested at the G2-phase of the cell cycle.
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.
