      CAS #Empirical Formula
      50-76-0C₆₂H₈₆N₁₂O₁₆
      Description
      OverviewAnti-neoplastic antibiotic. Inhibits DNA-primed RNA polymerase by complexing with DNA via deoxyguanosine residues. At higher concentrations, DNA polymerase is inhibited. Also acts as a competitive inhibitor of serine proteases. Inhibits cell growth and colony formation in synchronized HeLa cells. Induces apoptosis in many cell lines. However, actinomycin D has also been shown to suppress etoposide-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells. Note: 1 set = 20 x 200 µg.
      Stability: heat resistant and stable between pH 2 and 11. Decomposed by strong acids and bases.
