Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Topotecan is a topoisomerase inhibitor. It is a synthetic, water-soluble analog of the natural chemical compound camptothecin. In physiological environments, topotecan is in equilibrium with its inactive carboxylate form. Topotecan's active lactone form intercalates between DNA bases in the topoisomerase-I cleavage complex. The binding of topotecan in the cleavage complex prevents topoisomerase-I from religating the nicked DNA strand after relieving the strain. This intercalation therefore traps the topoisomerase-I in the cleavage complex bound to the DNA. When the replication-fork collides with the trapped topoisomerase-I, DNA damage occurs. This disruption prevents DNA replication and ultimately leads to cell death.

More Info
  HYCAMTIN (topotecan hydrochloride) is a semi-synthetic derivative of camptothecin and is an anti-tumor drug with topoisomerase I-inhibitory activity. HYCAMTIN for Injection is supplied as a sterile lyophilized, buffered, light yellow to greenish powder available in single-dose vials. Each vial contains topotecan hydrochloride equivalent to 4 mg of topotecan as free base. The reconstituted solution ranges in color from yellow to yellow-green and is intended for administration by intravenous infusion. Inactive ingredients are mannitol, 48 mg, and tartaric acid, 20 mg. Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide may be used to adjust the pH. The solution pH ranges from 2.5 to 3.5. FDA approved for treating: ovarian cancer (FDA May 1996); cervical cancer (FDA June 2006); small cell lung cancer (SCLC) (FDA Oct 2007).

Biological target:
Topotecan Hydrochloride (SKF 104864A Hydrochloride) is a Topoisomerase I inhibitor.
In vitro activity:
Topotecan [(S)-9-dimethylaminomethyl-10-hydroxycampto-thecin hydrochloride; SK&F 104864-A, NSC 609699], a water soluble semisynthetic analogue of the alkaloid campto-thecin, is a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor. Topotecan stabilizes topoisomerase l/DNA cleavable complexes in radiation-resistant human B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells, causes rapid apoptotic cell death despite high-level expression of bcl-2 protein, and inhibits ALL cell in vitro clonogenic growth in a dose-dependent fashion. As shown in Figs 3 and 4, the examination of topotecan-treated RS4: l l cells by transmission electron microscopy confirmed the presence of multiple apoptosis-associated ultrastructural changes involving both the cytosol and the nucleus. The changes in the cytosol included development of translucent cytoplasmic vacuoles, condensation leading to compaction of organelles, disappearance of microvilli with concomitant formation of blunt protuberances from the cell surface (blebbing), and separation of surface protuberances with plas-malemmal sealing to produce membrane-bound apoptotic bodies of spherical or ovoidal shape.

In vivo activity:
SCID mouse models of human B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) were used to evaluate the antileukemic efficacy of topotecan administered subcutaneously over 72 hours. Treatment with topotecan significantly improved event-free survival of SCID mice challenged with RS4;11 cells. Significantly higher cumulative proportions of topotecan-treated SCID mice remained alive without evidence of leukemia as compared with PBS-treated SCID mice (P < .000001 for 200 μg topotecan as well as 400 μg topotecan). Furthermore, time to event (paraplegia or death) in topotecan-treated groups was significantly delayed as compared with the PBS-treated group (Fig 9A).
