TCI C1495 (S)-(+)-Camptothecin (CAS 7689-03-4) is a pentacyclic quinoline alkaloid and a well-characterised topoisomerase I inhibitor. It is catalogued as a research reagent for pharmaceutical development, particularly for antibody-drug conjugate preparation, where its scaffold underpins an important class of payloads. Laboratories also use it as a positive control in cytotoxicity assays and as a starting material for analog synthesis. Supplied in 100 mg and 1 g packs; treat as a cytotoxic compound and follow the Safety Data Sheet and institutional handling procedures.
