Camptothecin is a pyranoindolizinoquinoline that is pyrano[3′,4′:6,7]indolizino[1,2-b]quinoline that is substituted by oxo groups at positions 3 and 14, and by an ethyl group and a hydroxy group at position 4 (the S enantiomer). Among its listed roles, it functions as a EC 5.99.1.2 (DNA topoisomerase) inhibitor, an antineoplastic agent, a genotoxin and a plant metabolite. It is a pyranoindolizinoquinoline, a tertiary alcohol, a delta-lactone and a quinoline alkaloid. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): Topoisomerase inhibitors. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a natural source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Camptothecine, (S)-(+)-Camptothecin and d-Camptothecin. Its PubChem CID is 24360.
