Résumé
The conjugates of camptothecin (CPT) with ligands possessing different DNA selectivity could be promising agents in cancer therapy affecting expression of specific genes by trapping DNA topoisomerase I (top I)-DNA complexes in a sequence-selective manner. Our recent data show that minor-groove binder netropsin (Nt) and its derivatives modulate the CPT-induced pattern of top I-mediated DNA cleavage. In an effort to develop a new molecule with good biological activity we have linked CPT with Nt and report here the first results of in vitro examination of the new compound.
