Comparative in vitro Studies of the Topoisomerase I Inhibition and Anticancer Activities of Metallated N-Confused Porphyrins and Metallated Porphyrins.

abstract：:The potassium channel openers flupirtine and retigabine have proven to be valuable analgesics or antiepileptics. Their recent withdrawal due to occasional hepatotoxicity and tissue discoloration, respectively, leaves a therapeutic niche unfilled. Metabolic oxidation of both drugs gives rise to the formation of electro...
