چکیده مقاله:

Objective: In this paper, we have introduced topoisomerase inhibitors, mechanism of action and types of them. DNA topoisomerases are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze essential enzymes to solve the topological problems accompanying key nuclear processes such as DNA replication, transcription, repair and chromatin assembly by introducing temporary single or double strand breaks in the DNA. Results: There are two types of DNA topoisomerase: I and II, which are enzymes that control the changes in DNA structure by catalyzing the breaking and rejoining of the phosphodiester backbone of DNA strands during the normal cell cycle. Topoisomerases are crucial for the several DNA functions (e.g. replication and transcription) that require the DNA to be unravelled, a process that generates tension and entanglement in DNA. Topoisomerase I breaks a single DNA strand while topoisomerase II breaks both strands and requires ATP for full activity.  In  both  cases,  the  enzyme  is covalently  attached  to  the  DNA  through tyrosine residues in the active site.

Topoisomerase I Inhibitors.

Topoisomerase I inhibitors are a new class of anticancer agents with a mechanism of action aimed at interrupting DNA replication in cancer cells, the result of which is cell death. Most if not all Topoisomerase I inhibitors are derivatives of the plant extract camptothecin. Irinotecan (CPT-11), a semi-synthetic derivative of camptothecin, is approved in the United States for the treatment of co...

Design, Synthesis and Cytotoxicity Evaluation of New 2-Aryl-5,6-Dihydropyrrolo[2, 1-a]Isoquinoline Derivatives as Topoisomerase Inhibitors

Two set of 2-aryl-5,6-dihydropyrrolo[2,1-a] isoquinolines were designed and synthesized to evaluate their biological activities as topoisomerase inhibitors. Cytotoxic activity of the synthesized compounds 4a-e and 7a-d was assessed against several human cancer cell lines, including MCF-7 (breast cancer cell), HepG2 (liver hepatocellular cells), A549 (adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithel...

Chemical investigation of drilling flowers, types of contaminations and ways to treat them

Generally, the drilling mud is divided into three groups of oil (gas oil) and gas based on its base (the main phase), which is often mixed drilling mud from two or more times a mixture of all three fluids that are present at the same time. In this paper, we first investigate the types of drilling flowers, and then we study the pollution of the types of drilling flowers that...
