Topoisomerase I inhibitors from Ruta graveolens are reported for the first time. Potent topoisomerase I inhibitory activity from in vitro culture extracts R. graveolens were observed. Stabilization of DNA–topoisomerase covalent complex was observed in all the tested extracts. The mechanism of topoisomerase inhibition was determined by preincubation studies. The irreversible topoisomerase I mediated relaxation of plasmid in enzyme–substrate preincubation study, indicated that the observed inhibitory activity of extract constituents was not mediated through conformational changes in the DNA. Furthermore, the affinity of inhibitors with the enzyme was tested by enzyme–extract preincubation study. Increase in inhibition of topoisomerase activity and promotion of DNA–enzyme complex was observed after enzyme–extract preincubation. The activity could be assigned to furanocoumarins—psoralen, bergapten and xanthotoxin, identifying them as novel, potent topoisomerase I inhibitors.
