Journal ArticleDOI
DNA topoisomerase poisons as antitumor drugs.
TL;DR: Inhibition of DNA Synthesis, Inhibition of Cell Division, and Other CELLULAR RESPONSes and DRUG RESISTANCE are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topoisomerase-targeting antitumor drugs.
Peter D'Arpa,Leroy-Fong Liu +1 more
TL;DR: The identification of both topoisomersase I and II as the specific targets of cancer chemotherapeutic drugs now provides a rational basis for the development of topoisomerase I poisons for possible clinical use and may lead to the identification of new therapies for treating cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of sister chromatid exchanges by inhibitors of topoisomerases.
TL;DR: It is concluded that double-strand break prevalence is not the primary mechanism for induction of sister chromatid exchanges, and acute inhibition of type I and type II topoisomerases does not influence substantially the induction of exchanges by other agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Structured–Activity Relationship Study of Batracylin Analogues
TL;DR: Compounds synthesized and evaluated as structural modification analogues of the antitumor compound batracylin exhibited good inhibitory activities against HL-60 cell lines as well as induction of topo II-mediated DNA cleavage activities.
