Exploring DNA Topoisomerase I Ligand Space in Search of Novel Anticancer Agents

DNA topoisomerase I (Top1) is over-expressed in tumour cells and is an important target in cancer chemotherapy. It relaxes DNA torsional strain generated during DNA processing by introducing transient single-strand breaks and allowing the broken strand to rotate around the intermediate Top1 – DNA co...
