Professional:

The cytotoxic and cytostatic activity of topotecan may be diminished in the presence of caffeine. The mechanism is probably formation of complexes between caffeine and topotecan which result in reducing the effective concentration of the free form of topotecan. The clinical implications of this interaction are unknown.
