Experts develop commercial formulation Campto for colorectal cancer

Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. The compound 7-ethyl-10-hydroxy-camptothecin (SN38) is a broad-spectrum antitumor agent whose applications are greatly limited by its poor solubility. Therefore, irinotecan, the hydrophilic derived prodrug of SN38, has been developed as the commercial formulation Campto® for colorectal cancer.
