Topoisomerase inhibitor
A topoisomerase II inhibitor that does not cause DNA damage. Induces apoptosis in several cell lines including K562 and Molt-4 cells. Induces a G2 checkpoint that is associated with an ATR-dependent inhibition of polo-like kinase 1 (plk1) activity and a decrease in cyclin B1 phosphorylation.
