Safety Information
Use
Rubitecan, marketed by Supergen as Orathecin, is a promising oral treatment for solid melanoma, prostate, breast, ovarian, and other cancers, as well as leukemia. It is a derivative of camptothecin, a topoisomerase inhibitor known from Chinese Traditional Medicine. It selectively targets the critical S-stage of cellular reproduction particularly in acidic environments, as in many cancer cells relaxing DNA supercoiling and generating lethal breaks in the DNA. Due to insolubility, its biological delivery mechanism is not yet effective, and it has not been approved for clinical use.
