Comment: Irinotecan is a semisynthetic analogue of the natural plant alkaloid camptothecin (PubChem CID 24360) which functions as a DNA replication inhibitor by binding to topoisomerase I/DNA complexes [5]. Camptothecin was first isolated from the bark and stem of Camptotheca acuminata, the Chinsese happy tree.
