| Scientific Background | Irinotecan is a semisynthetic analogue of camptothecin that inhibits topoisomerase I. It is converted to its active metabolite SN-38, which interferes with DNA replication and transcription. In neurobiology, irinotecan is used to study DNA damage responses and has potential applications in understanding neuronal vulnerability to genotoxic stress. |
