Inhibition of Topoisomerases by Metal Thiosemicarbazone Complexes

View through CrossRef
Topoisomerases, common targets for anti-tumor therapeutics, are crucial enzymes for DNA replication, transcription, and many other aspects of DNA metabolism. The potential anti-cancer effect of thiosemicarbazones (TSC) and metal-TSC complexes has been demonstrated by targeting several biological processes, including DNA metabolism. Human topoisomerases were discovered among the molecular targets for TSCs, and metal-chelated TSCs specifically displayed significant inhibition. The processes by which metal-TSCs or TSCs inhibit topoisomerases are still being studied. In this brief review, we summarize the TSCs and metal-TSCs that inhibit various types of human topoisomerases.
