Cellular Basis of Antiproliferative and Antitumor Activity of the Novel Camptothecin Derivative, Gimatecan, in Bladder Carcinoma Models

Cellular Basis of Antiproliferative and Antitumor Activity of the Novel Camptothecin Derivative, Gimatecan, in Bladder Carcinoma Models

To investigate the cellular/molecular basis of the activity of a novel lipophilic camptothecin, gimatecan (ST1481), against slowly proliferating cells, we performed a comparative study of topotecan and gimatecan in human bladder cancer models (HT1376 and MCR). Gimatecan was significantly more effec...
