Exatecan (CAS: 171335-80-1) is a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor used in cancer research. This camptothecin derivative blocks DNA replication in cancer cells by stabilizing the DNA-topoisomerase I complex, leading to cell death.
Key Information:
- CAS Number: 171335-80-1
- IUPAC Name: (S)-9-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-10-hydroxy-7-ethyl-4,7-dihydroxy-1H-pyrano[3′,4′:6,7]indolizino[1,2-b]quinoline-3,14(4H,12H)-dione
- Molecular Formula: C22H19N3O5
- Molecular Weight: 405.41 g/mol
Applications:
- Cancer Research: Exatecan shows strong antitumor activity and is widely studied in developing Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) for targeted therapies.
- Drug Development: Its cytotoxic effects make it a critical component in cancer treatments designed to target and destroy cancer cells.
Exatecan is particularly effective in targeted therapies, delivering high precision and minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
