Biochem/physiol Actions

Topoisomerase I inhibitor. Rubitecan induces protein- linked DNA single strand breaks, blocking DNA and RNA synthesis in dividing cells. This mode of action makes rubitecan a potential chemotherapeutic agent, and it has been used with some success against refractory pancreatic cancer.[1]

The effect of a series of cyclodextrins (CDs), especially hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD), on aqueous solubility and chemical stability of 9-nitro-camptothecin (9-NC), was investigated with an aim of preparing a stable and effective parenteral formulation. The 9-NC/HP-beta-CD complex was obtained in solid
