Abstract

The TOP2 poison etoposide has been implicated in the generation of secondary malignancies during cancer treatment. Structural similarities between TOP2 isoforms challenge the rational design of isoform-specific poisons to further delineate these processes. Herein, we describe the synthesis and biological evaluation of a focused library of etoposide analogues, with the identification of two novel small molecules exhibiting TOP2B-dependent toxicity. Our findings pave the way toward studying isoform-specific cellular processes by means of small molecule intervention.
