Intoplicine (RP 60475) dimesylate, an antitumor derivative in the 7H-benzo[e]pyrido[4,3-b]indole series, is a DNA topoisomerase I and II inhibitor. Intoplicine dimesylate strongly binds DNA (KA = 2 x 105 /M) and thereby increases the length of linear DNA[1][2]. | [in vivo]
At the highest non-toxic dose (HNTD) (6 mg/kg/injection, total dose, 36 mg/kg), intoplicine dimesylate shows highly active with a T/C of 0% and a corresponding total log cell kill of 3[3]. | [IC 50]
Topoisomerase I; Topoisomerase II | [storage]
