Abstract

The homocamptothecin (hCPT) represents a new class of topoisomerase inhibitor which combines enhanced plasma stability and strong antitumor activity. Fluorine imparts desirable characteristics to drugs by modulating both the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic properties of a drug. Therefore, in an attempt to improve the antitumor activity of homocamptothecins, seven new 7-trifluoromethylated homocamptothecin ...
