Description

Irinotecan is a chemotherapy agent used in the treatment of various cancers, including colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and ovarian cancer. As a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor, Irinotecan interferes with DNA replication in cancer cells, preventing them from dividing and growing. This makes Irinotecan a highly effective treatment option for aggressive cancers that rely on rapid cell division.

The mechanism of action of Irinotecan involves the inhibition of topoisomerase I, an enzyme responsible for unwinding DNA during replication. By preventing the DNA from properly unwinding, Irinotecan induces DNA damage, which ultimately leads to cancer cell death. This mechanism is particularly effective in tumors that are highly proliferative, such as those found in colorectal and lung cancers.
