Abstract
Objective: The use of topoisomerase II enzyme inhibitors, which have increased in importance in recent years, has been evaluated in terms of pharmaceutical chemistry and clinical use. In this context, compounds with clinical uses as well as certain compounds which are in the developmental stage are included.
Result and Discussion: Topoisomerase II enzyme inhibition targeted cancer chemotherapy and drug development efforts that are suitable for this mechanism, demonstrating high activity and less adverse effects have been ongoing for many years. As a conclusion, it provides clinical use of many new agents in high activity by making appropriate modifications on the chemical structure of topoisomerase II inhibitors obtained herbally or synthetically. In addition, preventing drug resistance frequently seen in cancer patients, targeted treatment and reduced toxicities can be provided with the discovery of new agents. By ensuring that the use of new agents is among the individualized treatment methods, the most appropriate treatment will be provided to the patients.
