The fascinating story of the discovery of the enzyme described in Chapter 1 should enchant scientists and students as well to show how an important discovery in science is made. As Jim wrote in the "Postscript" of the chapter, this article is a detailed version of what he presented as a memorial lecture at the 2001 meeting on "DNA Topoisomerases in Therapy" symposium series organized by Prof. Milan Potmesil in New York and Prof. Giuseppe Giaccone in Amsterdam since 1986. A rush of discovery of several kinds of topoisomerases, type I through type VI, in a variety of organisms ranging from viruses, bacteria, lower eukaryotes, to higher eukaryotes followed the "omega" protein over decades. The wide distribution of the enzymes in various forms of organisms implicates that DNA topoisomerases are essential for life. It turned out that they are in fact involved in essentially every aspect of genetic processes, such as DNA replication, transcription, recombination, and chromosome dynamics by regulating the topology of DNA. Furthermore, later in the mid 1980' s type I and II enzymes were found to be the intracellular targets of a number of efficacious anticancer therapeutics such as doxorubicin, mitoxantrone, etoposide, and camptothecin, which attracted the interest of scientists and clinicians. In this book the reader finds a series of chapters written by researchers actively involved in the expanding research field. The volume is designed to compile and disseminate up-to-date information on pharmacology and molecular biology of topoisomerase inhibitors now available in cancer clinics and those in stages of clinical and preclinical development. The editor hopes the volume will be useful as a long-standing reference book for clinicians, scientists, and students as well in the field of pharmacology, toxicology, oncology, and molecular biology, and to help further the development of efficacious anticancer therapeutics. The editor wishes to acknowledge the invaluable help of colleagues listed in this volume who provided critical reviews for the book. I offer them all my most sincere thanks, and at the same time apologies for my arbitrary selection of topics in this volume. Thanks are due to Dr. Kae Yanase, one of the contributors to the book, for expert editorial and secretarial assistance. Lastly, I am most grateful to the publishing editor Joanna Lawrence and staff of Kluwer AcademiclPlenum Publishers for patience and generosity.
