Camptothecin cytotoxicity in mammalian cells is associated with the induction of persistent double strand breaks in replicating DNA.

Camptothecin is a specific topoisomerase I poison and is highly cytotoxic to eukaryotic cells. In the present study, we show, using a pulse field gel electrophoresis assay, that camptothecin induces DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) specifically in newly replicated DNA. Camptothecin induces these repl...
