Abstract
The targeting of specific DNA repair mechanisms may be a promising strategy to improve the efficacy of antitumor therapy. The cytotoxic effects of the clinically relevant topoisomerase 1 (Top1) poison camptothecins are related to the generation of DNA lesions and tumor cells may be resistant to DNA damaging agents due to increased repair. Tyrosyl- DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) is implicated in the repair of strand breaks by removing abortive Top1/DNA complexes. Thus, a role for TDP1 in counteracting DNA damage induced by camptothecins has been proposed. Here, we review the role of TDP1 in DNA repair with particular reference to TDP1 function, its cooperation with other pathways and the development of pharmacological inhibitors.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
