Discovering and harnessing oxidative enzymes for chemoenzymatic synthesis and diversification of anticancer camptothecin analogues

T. M. Nguyen, T. Nguyen, et al.

This groundbreaking research unveils two cytochrome P450 monooxygenases from *Camptotheca acuminata* that specifically oxidize camptothecin, paving the way for innovative anticancer drug production, including topotecan and irinotecan. Authored by Tuan-Anh M. Nguyen, Trinh-Don Nguyen, Yuen Yee Leung, Matthew McConnachie, Oleg Sannikov, Zhicheng Xia, and Thu-Thuy T. Dang, the study highlights environmentally friendly methods for synthesizing important medicinal derivatives.
