Actinomycin D

Actinomycin is a polypeptide antibiotic isolated from soil bacteria of the genus Streptomyces. It binds to DNA duplexes, thereby interfering with the action of enzymes engaged in replication and transcription. Actinomycin D is one of the old chemotherapy drugs which have been used in therapy for many years.
