Naphthalimides Induce G2 Arrest Through the ATM-Activated Chk2-Executed Pathway in HCT116 Cells

Naphthalimides, particularly amonafide and 2-(2-dimethylamino)-6-thia-2-aza-benzo[def]chrysene-1,3-diones (R16), have been identified to possess anticancer activities and to induce G2-M arrest through inhibiting topoisomerase II accompanied by Chk1 degradation. The current study was designed to pre...
