Etoposide
UNII 6PLQ3CP4P3 - ETOPOSIDE

The main effect of etoposide appears to be at the late S and early G2 portion of the cell cycle in mammalian cells. The predominant macromolecular effect of etoposide seems to be the rupture of the double strand by an interaction with DNA-topoisomerase II or by the formation of free radicals. Etoposide has been shown to cause metaphase arrest in chick fibroblasts. |
