Application

Teniposide has been used as a topoisomerase II inhibitor to study its effects on the flagellum length in Trypanosoma brucei. It has also been used as a chemotherapeutic agent to study its interactions with piperazine(B87).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Teniposide (VM-26) is a Topoisomerase II inhibitor with antitumor activity. Teniposide inhibits DNA synthesis by forming a complex with topoisomerase II and DNA, inducing breaks in double stranded DNA and preventing repair.
Teniposide is a derivative of podophyllotoxin and has been studied to treat several cancers. It acts during the late S phase or the early G2 phase of the cell cycle.

The intention of the present study was to answer the question whether the catalytic topoisomerase-II inhibitor, dexrazoxane, can be used as a modulator of teniposide-induced DNA damage and programmed cell death (apoptosis) in the bone marrow cells in vivo. The

Several models have been proposed to explain how eukaryotic cells control the length of their cilia and flagella. Here, we investigated this process in the protist Trypanosoma brucei, an excellent model system for cells with stable cilia like photoreceptors or

Cilia and flagella are required for cell motility and sensing the external environment and can vary in both length and stability. Stable flagella maintain their length without shortening and lengthening and are proposed to "lock" at the end of growth

We attempted to improve the oral delivery of lipophilic teniposide to achieve higher drug concentration in tumor by self-assembled nanocarrier for further oral chemotherapy. The teniposide loaded self-assembled nanocarrier (TSN) was spherical nanometric particles with narrow size distribution. The intestinal

Podophyllotoxin, one of the well-known naturally occurring aryltetralin lignans, has been used as the lead-compound for the preparation of potent anticancer agents, such as etoposide, teniposide, and etopophos. In our previous review, we described the advances of podophyllotoxin derivatives from
