Bioactivity | Topotecan (SKF 104864A; NSC 609669) is an orally active and potent Topoisomerase I inhibitor. Topotecan induces cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 and S phases and promotes apoptosis. Topotecan shows anticancer activity[1]. |
Invitro | Topotecan obviously inhibits proliferation of human glioma cells and glioma stem cells (GSCs) in a dose- and time-dependent manner[1]. Topotecan (0-40 μM) obviously inhibits the cell viability compared with the control groups, in a dose-dependent manner[1].Topotecan shows anti-proliferation activity against U251, U87, GSCs-U251 and GSCs-U87 cells, with IC50 values of 2.73±0.25, 2.95±0.23, 5.46±0.41, and 5.95±0.24 μM, respectively[1]. |
