BIOLOGICAL INFO
Solubility:DMSO: 3mg/mL; H2O: <1mg/mL; EtOH: <1mg/mL; CHCl3/MeOHl (4:1): 4mg/mL
Application(s):DNA Topoisomerase I Inhibitor
Form:Free Base

REVIEW
 Camptothecin binds to the topoisomerase I and DNA complex (the covalent complex) resulting in a ternary complex, and thereby stabilizing it. This prevents DNA relegation and therefore causes DNA damage which results in apoptosis.
