NCIt definition : A liposomal formulation of the semisynthetic camptothecin analogue irinotecan with
potential antineoplastic activity. During the S phase of the cell cycle, irinotecan
selectively stabilizes topoisomerase I-DNA covalent complexes, inhibiting religation
of topoisomerase I-mediated single-strand DNA breaks and producing lethal double-strand
DNA breaks when complexes are encountered by the DNA replication machinery. Liposome
encapsulation of this agent promotes efficient drug delivery into the cytosol from
the endosome compartment of the cell.;
