Also known as (+)-camptothecin, (+)-camptothecine, (s)-(+)-camptothecin, (s)-camptothecin, 20(S)-Camptothecin, 21,22-Secocamptothecin-21-oic acid lactone, Camptothecine, D-camptothecin

Camptothecin (CPT) is a topoisomerase inhibitor. It was discovered in 1966 by M. E. Wall and M. C. Wani in systematic screening of natural products for anticancer drugs. It was isolated from the bark of Camptotheca acuminata (喜树 "Happy tree"), a tree native to China used in traditional Chinese medicine. It has been used clinically in China for the treatment of gastrointestinal tumors. CPT showed anticancer activity in preliminary clinical trials, especially against breast, ovarian, colon, lung, and stomach cancers. However, it has low solubility and adverse effects have been reported when used
