'''Many anticancer drugs target topo 1 enzymes. This enzyme is the target of camptothecin (CPT) family of anticancer drugs<ref name="Redinbo" />. These drugs work by increasing the duration of the nicked intermediate in the topo I reaction <ref name="Redinbo" />. The stabilized intermediates prevent transcription and replication to continue in the cancer cells<ref name="Redinbo" />. This eventually leads to DNA damage and cell death<ref name="Redinbo" />.''' | '''Many anticancer drugs target topo 1 enzymes.
