Irinotecan
This chemotherapy agent works by inhibiting topoisomerase I, an enzyme needed to unwind and replicate DNA, causing DNA strand breaks that lead to cancer cell death. It is used primarily to treat colorectal cancer, often as part of combination regimens. Common side effects include severe diarrhea and low white blood cell counts, requiring careful management.
