Irinotecan is an antineoplastic enzyme inhibitor primarily used in the treatment of colorectal cancer. Irinotecan is sold under the brand name Camptosar among others. CAMPTOSAR is a topoisomerase inhibitor indicated for:
• First-line therapy in combination with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin for
patients with metastatic carcinoma of the colon or rectum.
• Patients with metastatic carcinoma of the colon or rectum whose disease
has recurred or progressed following initial fluorouracil-based therapy.
Irinotecan is a derivative of camptothecin. Camptothecins interact specifically with the enzyme
topoisomerase I, which relieves torsional strain in DNA by inducing reversible single-strand
breaks. Irinotecan and its active metabolite SN-38 bind to the topoisomerase I-DNA complex
and prevent religation of these single-strand breaks. Current research suggests that the
cytotoxicity of irinotecan is due to double-strand DNA damage produced during DNA synthesis
when replication enzymes interact with the ternary complex formed by topoisomerase I, DNA,
and either irinotecan or SN-38. Mammalian cells cannot efficiently repair these double-strand
breaks.

Sodium is the primary cation (positive ion) in extracellular fluids in animals and humans. Sodium ions are necessary for regulation of blood and body fluids, transmission of nerve impulses, heart activity, and certain metabolic functions. Physiologically, it exists as an ion in the body. Sodium is needed by animals, which maintain high concentrations in their blood and extracellular fluids, but the ion is not needed by plants. The human requirement for sodium in the diet is less than 500 mg per day, which is typically less than a tenth as much as many diets "seasoned to taste. " Most people consume far more sodium than is physiologically needed. For certain people with salt-sensitive blood pressure, this extra intake may cause a negative effect on health.
