A novel camptothecin derivative, ZBH-01, exhibits superior antitumor efficacy than irinotecan by regulating the cell cycle.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIrinotecan (CPT-11) is a classic chemotherapeutic agent that plays an important role in the clinical treatment of metastatic colon cancer and other malignant tumors. We previously designed a series of novel irinotecan derivatives. In this study, we select one representative, ZBH-01, to investigate its sophisticated antitumor mechanism in colon tumor cells.
methodsThe cytotoxic activity of ZBH-01 on colon cancer cells was evaluate by MTT or Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assay, 3D and xenograft model. The inhibitory effect of ZBH-01 on TOP1 was detected by DNA relaxation assay and Immuno Complex of Ezyme (ICE) bioassay. The molecular mechanism of ZBH-01 was explored by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), bioinformatics analyses, flow cytometry, qRT-PCR, and western blot etc.
resultsZBH-01 can induce obvious DNA damage and has superior antitumor activity against colon cancer cells compared to CPT-11 and SN38 (7-Ethyl-10-hydroxy camptothecin, the in vivo active form of CPT-11) both in vivo and in vitro. Its inhibitory effect on topoisomerase I (TOP1) was also comparable with these two control drugs. There are a much larger number of 842 downregulated and 927 upregulated mRNAs in ZBH-01 treatment group than that in the controls. The most significantly enriched KEGG pathways for these dysregulated mRNAs were DNA replication, the p53 signaling pathway, and the cell cycle. After constructing a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and screening out a prominent cluster, 14 involved in the cell cycle process was identified. Consistently, ZBH-01 induced G
conclusionsZBH-01 can be an antitumor candidate drug for preclinical study in the future.
