Tapcin, an In Vivo Active Dual Topoisomerase I/II Inhibitor Discovered by Synthetic Bioinformatic Natural Product (Syn‐BNP)‐Coupled Metagenomics

DNA topoisomerases are attractive targets for anticancer agents. Dual topoisomerase I/II inhibitors are particularly appealing due to their reduced rates of resistance. A number of therapeutically relevant topoisomerase inhibitors are bacterial natural products. Mining the untapped chemical diversity encoded by soil microbiomes presents an opportunity to identify additional natural topoisomerase i…
