the anticancer natural products. 1 A number of promising analogs have been prepared that
show improved solubility, low overall toxicity, and impressive in vivo activity against certain
solid tu-mors. 2 Some of the more active derivatives include 9-amino-camptothecin2®(2),

Analog 4 is currently undergoing phase I clinical trials in cancer patients. The camptothecins’ mode of action has been
