The Anti-Proliferative and Pro-apoptotic Effect of Topotecan in Combination With Thymoquinone in Acute Myelogenous Leukemia

Topotecan (a novel topoisomerase I inhibitor and a water-soluble camptothecin analog) is active against numerous human tumor cell lines, and has shown promising antineoplastic activity in solid tumors and acute leukemia. Due to the primary dose-limiting toxicity of topotecan which is myelosuppressio...

الملخص:Topotecan (a novel topoisomerase I inhibitor and a water-soluble camptothecin analog) is active against numerous human tumor cell lines, and has shown promising antineoplastic activity in solid tumors and acute leukemia. Due to the primary dose-limiting toxicity of topotecan which is myelosuppression, it is necessary to identify other chemotherapeutic agents that can work synergistically with topotecan, potentially increasing its efficacy while limiting its toxicity. Many studies showed synergism upon combination of topotecan with other chemotherapeutic agents like Gemcitabine, bortezomin and CP-4055.
