Razoxane is a compound that functions as a DNA intercalator and topoisomerase II inhibitor. It interacts with DNA by inserting itself between the base pairs, causing structural changes in the DNA molecule. This interaction interferes with the normal functioning of topoisomerase II, an enzyme involved in DNA replication and repair. By inhibiting this enzyme, razoxane disrupts the process of DNA unwinding and resealing, ultimately leading to DNA damage and cell death. Its mechanism of action at the molecular level involves the prevention of DNA strand break resealing, resulting in the accumulation of DNA breaks and ultimately leading to cell death. Razoxane ′s function in the development setting involves its role as a DNA intercalator and topoisomerase II inhibitor, contributing to the study of DNA damage and repair mechanisms.
