| Bioactivity | Exatecan (DX-8951) is a DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor, with an IC50 of 2.2 μM (0.975 μg/mL), and can be used in cancer research. |
| Invitro | Exatecan is a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor, with an IC50 of 0.975 μg/mL. Exatecan Mesylate (DX-8951f) significantly inhibits the proliferation of several cancer cell lines, with mean GI50s of 2.02 ng/mL, 2.92 ng/mL, 1.53 ng/mL, and 0.877 ng/mL for breast cancer cells, colon cancer cells, stomach cancer cells and lung cancer cells, respectively[1]. Exatecan Mesylate (DX-8951f) displays cytotoxic activities against PC-6, PC-6/SN2-5 cells, with mean GI50s of 0.186 and 0.395 ng/mL, respctively. Exatecan Mesylate (34 nM) stabilizes DNA-TopoI complexes in PC-6 and PC-6/SN2-5 cells[3]. |
