Irinotecan
Irinotecan (CPT-11) is a camptothecin-derived topoisomerase I inhibitor used in cancer research. It induces lethal double-strand DNA breaks by stabilizing the Topo I-DNA complex. This mechanism underpins its application in studying colorectal and other cancers in both in vitro and in vivo experimental models.
