Camptothecin is a
quinoline-based alkaloid found in the barks of the chinese
camptotheca tree and the Asian nothapodytes tree. Camptotheca
acuminate as the fruit and root of the Chinese dove tree with cold
nature and bitter flavor. In "Chinese herds" which is described as
"cancer-curable, calculus exploded, curing the cancer in stomach,
rectum and cystic, also has the good effects for chronic
granulocytic leukemia. The whole Chinese dove tree contains the
alkaloid-Camptothecin.Anti-cancer is the major pharmacodynamic
effect. The anti-cancer presented is ¦Á-hydroxyl-lactone ring. In
the human-mouse test of l-165 reticulum cell sarcoma ars abdominal
dropsy and viral leukemia, camptothecin may reduce the number of
white blood cells, ease the splenomegaly, reduce abdominal dropsy
and the number of the active tumor cells in which.
