[5R-(5alpha,5abeta,8aalpha,9beta)]-9-[2-[N-[2-(Dimethylamino)ethyl]-N-methylamino]ethyl]-5-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-5,5a,6,8,8a,9-hexahydrofuro[3',4':6,7]naphtho[2,3-d]-1,3-dioxol-6-one

Definition

ChEBI: TOP-53 is a furonaphthodioxole that is 4'-demethyldeoxypodophyllotoxin which is substituted at position 4 of the C-ring by a 2-{[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl](methyl)amino}ethyl group. While structurally related to etoposide, TOP-53 is significantly more toxic to non-small cell lung cancer cells, more active at generating chromosomal breaks, and displays improved cellular uptake and pharmacokinetics in animal lung tissues. It has a role as an EC 5.99.1.3 [DNA topoisomerase (ATP-hydrolysing)] inhibitor and an antineoplastic agent. It is a furonaphthodioxole, an organic heterotetracyclic compound, a tertiary amino compound, a member of phenols and a gamma-lactone.
