Description

General description

A cell-permeable powerful DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor. Reduces DNA synthesis in vitro in murine hepatoma cells. Has selective inhibitory effect on the phosphorylation of histone H1 and H3, but less effect on other histones.

A cell-permeable, powerful DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor. Reduces DNA synthesis in vitro in murine hepatoma cells. Inhibits the proliferation of hepatoma HepG2, Bcl-7402 and Bcl-7404 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Has selective inhibitory effect on the phosphorylation of histones H1 and H3, but is less effective on other histones.
