Teniposide
Identification
- Summary
Teniposide is a cytotoxic drug used as an adjunct for chemotherapy induction in the treatment of refractory childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
- Generic Name
- Teniposide
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB00444
- Background
Teniposide is a semisynthetic derivative of podophyllotoxin that exhibits antitumor activity. Teniposide inhibits DNA synthesis by forming a complex with topoisomerase II and DNA. This complex induces breaks in double stranded DNA and prevents repair by topoisomerase II binding. Accumulated breaks in DNA prevent cells from entering into the mitotic phase of the cell cycle, and lead to cell death. Teniposide acts primarily in the G2 and S phases of the cycle.

- Pharmacodynamics
Teniposide is a phase-specific cytotoxic drug, acting in the late S or early G 2 phase of the cell cycle. Teniposide prevents cell mitosis by causing single and double stranded DNA breaks as well as cross linking between protein and DNA.
- Mechanism of action
The mechanism of action appears to be related to the inhibition of type II topoisomerase activity since teniposide does not intercalate into DNA or bind strongly to DNA. Teniposide binds to and inhibits DNA topoisomerase II. The cytotoxic effects of teniposide are related to the relative number of double-stranded DNA breaks produced in cells, which are a reflection of the stabilization of a topoisomerase II-DNA intermediate.
