Vosaroxin
Vosaroxin (AG-7352, SPC-595, SNS 595, voreloxin) is a topoisomerase II inhibitor causing site-selective DNA damage. It is under phase III clinical trial investigation for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and ovarian cancer sponsored by Sunesis.[1]

Mechanism of action
Vosaroxin is a naphthyridine analog of the anticancer quinolone derivatives (AQDs), a class of compounds that has not been used previously for the treatment of cancer. Topoisomerase II enzymes are essential for the survival of eukaryotic cells. Vosaroxin hinders the reunion of topoisomerase II-induced double-strand breaks at selective sites in DNA, resulting in G2 arrest and cell death by apoptosis.[2]
gollark: The autoupdater? The disk infection thingy? The sandboxing?
gollark: What would you count as "virus capabilities" anyway?
gollark: Any *sensible* suggestions?
gollark: Also, <@!297887730267062272>, your OS is a bit broken in that if I read the code correctly its "custom shell" thing only runs a few programs.
gollark: Do you at least have PotatOS feature suggestions?
