Neocarzinostatin is an effective DNA-damaging, anti-tumor antibiotic. It recognizes double-stranded DNA bulge and induces DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). Neocarzinostatin leads to apoptosis. Neocarzinostatin has potential for EpCAM-positive cancer treatment.
Afeletecan is a water-soluble camptothecin derivative. Afeletecan stabilizes the topoisomerase I-DNA covalent complex and forms an enzyme-drug-DNA ternary complex. Both the initial cleavage reaction and religation steps are inhibited and subsequent collis
