Paclitaxel (Taxol) is a natural product and a microtubule polymer stabilizer. Paclitaxel has anti-tumor activity and causes cell death by inducing mitotic arrest, apoptosis, and cell autophagy.

Doxorubicin hydrochloride (Adriamycin) belongs to the anthracycline class of antibiotics and is an inhibitor of human DNA topoisomerase I/II (IC50=0.8/2.67 μM). Doxorubicin hydrochloride exhibits cytotoxicity and antitumor activity. Doxorubicin hydrochloride reduces the phosphorylation of AMPK and its downstream target protein acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase, and induces apoptosis and autophagy.

Camptothecin (CPT) belongs to the alkaloid group of natural products and is a specific DNA topoisomerase I (Topo I) inhibitor (IC50=679 nM) with specificity. Camptothecin has antitumor activity and induces apoptosis.

Doxorubicin (Adriamycin) is a Topoisomerase II (Top2) inhibitor with antineoplastic activity.

Daunorubicin hydrochloride (Rubidomycin hydrochloride), an anthracycline aminoglycoside antineoplastic, inhibits DNA replication and repair and RNA and protein synthesis.

SN-38 (NK012) is the active metabolite of Irinotecan, a DNA topoisomerase I (Topo I) inhibitor, which inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis (IC50=0.077/1.3 μM). SN-38 has antitumor activity and induces autophagy.

γ-Amanitin, an ADC (antibody-drug conjugate) cytotoxin isolated from mushrooms, inhibits RNA polymerase II, disrupting mRNA synthesis. It exhibits effects akin to those of α-Amanitin and β-Amanitin.

Luisol A, an aromatic tetraol and anthraquinone antibiotic analog, serves as a significant metabolite produced by an estuarine marine actinomycete from the genus Streptomyces. Additionally, it functions as an ADC (Antibody-Drug Conjugate) cytotoxin [1].

Maytansinol (Ansamitocin P-0) inhibits microtubule assembly and causes microtubule disassembly in vitro.

10-Deacetyl-7-xylosyl paclitaxel (7-Xylosyl-10-deacetyltaxol) is a Paclitaxel derivative with improved pharmacological features and higher water solubility,used in Chinese clinics to treat cancer.
