Irinotecan HCl is a semisynthetic derivative of camptothecin, an alkaloid extract from plants such as Camptotheca acuminata. (rxmed.com)
Camptothecin (Camptotheca acuminata), (GoldBio Catalog # C-705) has also been produced by endosymbiotic fungi present in Camptotheca acuminata, which is a tree predominantly found in southern China. (goldbio.com)
For example the drugs teniposide and etoposide are derived from podophyllotoxin, which is a non-alkaloid toxin from roots and rhizome of Podophyllum species and topotecan and irinotecan are hydrophilic analogs of the anticancer drug camptothecin obtained from the bark of Camptotheca acuminata.
