Indenoisoquinoline LMP400 for Advanced Solid Tumors and Lymphomas

Top1 inhibitors such as LMP400 are potent anticancer agents because stabilizing cleavage complex formation induces replication-and transcription-mediated DNA damage and delays DNA repair, leading to apoptosis. Preclinical and clinical data indicate that baseline tumor levels of Top1 correlate strongly with ability to respond to Top1 inhibitor therapy.
