Exatecan (DX-8951f), a new hexacyclic camptothecin analogue, is a second-generation topoisomerase
inhibitor that prevents rapidly dividing cells from
replicating by interrupting DNA transcription, ultimately
leading to cell death. Preclinical studies showed exatecan
to have broad-spectrum antitumor efficacy. Exatecan is in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of pancreas cancer. However, there is no recent report of this research. The compound was co-developed by Daiichi Pharmaceutical (now Daiichi Sankyo) and Yakult Honsha.

Sample Use Guides
Fifty-seven patients with bidimensionally measurable ovarian cancer, previously exposed to platinum and taxanes, whose disease had relapsed within 6 months of platinum-containing chemotherapy were randomised to one of two intravenous schedules of exatecan mesylate; 0.3 mg/m(2) daily for 5 days every 3 weeks (Arm A) or 2.1 mg/m(2) weekly for 3 weeks out of 4 (Arm B).
