Artemisinin Derivatives Target Topoisomerase 1 and Cause DNA Damage in Silico and in Vitro

DNA topoisomerases 1 and 2 are enzymes that maintain DNA topology and play important essential genome functions, including DNA replication and transcription. Aberrant topoisomerases cause genome instability and a wide range of diseases, cancer in particular. Both Topo 1 and 2 are the targets of valu...
