Bioactivity | (±)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin is an indole alkaloid that inhibits the activity of topoisomerase I and has a broad spectrum of anticancer activity. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | (±)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin (10-OH-camptothecin) is an inhibitor of topo I[1]. (±)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin (10-HCPT, 5-20 nM) markedly inhibits the proliferation of Colo 205 cells in a dose-dependent manner. (±)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin (5-20 nM) arrests Colo 205 cells in the G2 phase of the cell cycle and triggers apoptosis through a caspase-3-dependent pathway[2]. (±)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin (HPT, 0.01-10 μg/mL) causes cell shrinage, nuclear fragmentation and condensed chromosomes and induces apoptosis of human urinary bladder cancer cell line (T24)[3]. | ||||||||||||
