camptothecin/dichloromethane

Water-soluble camptothecin (CPT)-polyoxetane conjugates were synthesized using a clickable polymeric platform P(EAMO) that was made by polymerization of acetylene-functionalized 3-ethyl-3-(hydroxymethyl)oxetane (i.e., EAMO). CPT was first modified with a linker 6-azidohexanoic acid via an ester

Camptothecin (CPT)-loaded nanoparticles were prepared using poly(dl-lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(propylene glycol)-block-poly(ethylene glycol) copolymer (PEG-PPG-PEG), and examined for particle characteristics, in vitro release, pharmacokinetics and efficacy. The

A new, simple, sensitive and specific reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method using ultraviolet detection was developed and validated for the analysis of CPT-11 (lambda(max)=254 nm, 365 nm) and its major active metabolite, SN-38 (lambda(max)=380 nm) in rat plasma and

Naturally occurring camptothecins (CPT) are important sources of chemotherapeutic agents for clinical treatment of cancer. Extraction of CPT from Camptotheca acuminata trees remains to be a cost-effective way in the supply equation compared with a total synthesis. This study conducted a series of
