Kinetics of the reversal of drug-induced SSB in isolated nuclei suggest that dissociation of SN-38 from cleavable complexes is much slower than that of CPT. Cleavage patterns of CPT and 9-AC were similar but differed from those of TPT and SN-38. Although in vitro analyses do not necessarily reflect chemotherapeutic efficacy, this study found that SN-38 is the most potent compound and that 9-AC and TPT are less active than CPT in this system. The effect of CPT-11 is minimal. Therefore, the clinical activity of CPT-11 may strongly depend on its hydrolysis to SN-38. Differences in DNA sequence selectivity and the stability of cleavable complexes induced by the drugs may also contribute to differences among CPT derivatives.
