Although 9-aminocamptothecin (9-AC, NSC 603071) was the first among the camptothecins synthesized for clinical application,'.'the drug was introduced to clinical testing recently. This late clinical application was mainly due to the need to develop pharmacological formulation of the drug with low water solubility. The biochemistry, interaction with the target DNA topoisomerase I (topo I), and the mechanism of cytotoxicity exerted by 9-AC and other camptothecins, have been studied extensively (reviewed in several chapters of refs. 3 and 4). Following studies of its structure-activity relationships in top0 I-directed screens and in tissue-culture cell 9-AC was tested against inherently resistant human cancers growing as xenografts in immunodeficient mice. The spectrum of xenografts included three lines of colon carcinoma, malignant melanoma, infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast, two types of non-small cell lung carcinoma, and an epithelial line of ovarian cancer.In biological studies, 9-AC, the parental 20 (S)-camptothecin (CPT) and other related analogs were dissolved in strong organic solvents such as DMSO, or formulated as a suspension in Tween 80: saline or in lipid-based media. In most xenograft experiments, 9-AC suspension was injected subcutaneously (sc) or intramuscularly (im) on a 2 x/week schedule over a period of 4-6 weeks. Such treatment induced complete responses (CR) in SC implanted tumors in all treated mice.'-I0
