The anticancer agent irinotecan (CPT-11) is a prodrug converted to its active form, SN-38, by human carboxylesterase (hCE) and the SN-38 is further metabolized to its inactive form, SN-38G. We investigated the expression of hCE in human lung cancer cells as well as the ability of these cells to convert CPT-11 to SN-38 using surgically resected tumor samples and cultured cell lines. SN-38 was 40- to...
