How Becatecarin works

Becatecarin is a small molecule, anticancer compound for the treatment of hepatobiliary duct tumors, a rare and aggressive form of cancer with a high medical need and very limited survival. Becatecarin intercalates into DNA and stabilizes the DNA-topoisomerase I complex, thereby interfering with the topoisomerase I-catalyzed DNA breakage-reunion reaction and initiating DNA cleavage and apoptosis.
