| Bioactivity | (S)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin (10-HCPT;10-Hydroxycamptothecin) is a DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor of isolated from the Chinese plant Camptotheca accuminata. (S)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin exhibits a remarkable apoptosis-inducing effect. (S)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin has the potential for hepatoma, gastric carcinoma, colon cancer and leukaemia treatment[1][2][3][4]. |
| Invitro | (S)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin (5-20 µg/L; 6 days; Hep G2 cells) treatment results in the cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase[2].(S)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin induces differentiation, down-regulates nuclear antigen (PCNA) and up-regulates wild-type protein p53 in Hep G2 cells[2].(S)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin inhibits L1210 leukemia cells with an IC50 of 1.15 µM[1].
