Description |
XMT-1001 is a polymer-based prodrug of camptothecin (CPT), a well-characterized topoisomerase I inhibitor with potent anti-tumor activity. It is a water-soluble macromolecular conjugate of camptothecin (CPT). In this novel CPT pro-drug, CPT is conjugated with a 70 kDa biodegradable hydrophilic polyacetal, poly (1-hydroxymethylene hydroxylmethylformal). XMT-1001 has demonstrated an improved therapeutic window as compared with CPT and irinotecan in human tumor xenografts models
