Biochem/physiol Actions

(S)-(+)-Camptothecin binds irreversibly to the DNA-topoisomerase I complex, inhibiting the reassociation of DNA after cleavage by topoisomerase I and traps the enzyme in a covalent linkage with DNA. The enzyme complex is ubiquinated and destroyed by the 26S proteasome, thus depleting cellular topoisomerase I. Blocks the cell cycle in S-phase at low does and induces apoptosis in a large number of normal and tumor cell lines by cell cycle-dependent and cell cycle-independent processes.

세포 주기 연구를 위한 생체 활성 저분자

증식하는 세포에서 세포 주기는 4단계로 구성됩니다. Gap 1(G1)은 유사분열과 세포 성장을 특징으로 하는 DNA 복제 사이의 기간입니다. DNA 복제는 합성(S)기에 일어나며, 세포 분열을 위한 성장 및 준비를 하는 Gap 2(G2)가 뒤따릅니다. 이 세 단계는 함께 세포주기의 간기 단계를 구성합니다. 간기 이후에 분열(M)기가 뒤따릅니다.
