Tetrandrine induces early G1 arrest in human colon carcinoma cells by down-regulating the activity and inducing the degradation of G1-S-specific cyclin-dependent kinases and by inducing p53 and p21Cip1.

TL;DR: It is found that micromolar concentrations of tetrandrine irreversibly inhibit the proliferation of human colon carcinoma cells in MTT and clonogenic assays by arresting cells in G1 by convergent mechanisms.
Journal Article

Gemcitabine (2′,2′-Difluoro-2′-Deoxycytidine), an Antimetabolite That Poisons Topoisomerase I

TL;DR: The enhancement of camptothecin-induced top1 cleavage complexes may, at least in part, contribute to the synergistic or additive effects of gemcitabine in combination with topotecan and irinotecans in human breast or lung cancer cells.
Journal Article

Topoisomerase I-mediated Cytotoxicity of N-Methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine: Trapping of Topoisomerase I by the O6-Methylguanine

TL;DR: A role for Top1 poisoning by alkylated bases in the antiproliferative activity of alkylating agents as well as in the DNA lesions resulting from endogenous and carcinogenic DNA modifications is suggested.
