Actinomycin D (from Streptomyces parvulus) ~98%, crystalline powder
Actinomycin D
Actinomycin D is a polypeptide antibiotic first described by Waksman. It is bacteriostatic in nature, especially towards gram negative bacteria, and also has anti-tumor activity.
- Presentation: Red Crystalline Powder
- Soluble in methanol (10 mg/mL - clear, orange solution), soluble in DMSO (50 mg/ mL-clear, orange solution), ethanol, chloroform, benzene, ethyl acetate, propylene glycol, chloroform, acetone, water + glycol mixtures.
Actinomycin D has a wide-ranging applications ranging from a selection agent in cell culture, use in studies of suppressing HIV-replication and programmed cell death of PC12 cells, and as an antibiotic in treatment of various malignant neoplasms, including Wilm′s tumour and the sarcomas.
Actinomycin D inhibits the proliferation of cells by forming a stable complex with double-stranded DNA, inhibiting DNA-primed RNA synthesis and causing single-stranded breaks in DNA. It has been shown to be an inhibitor of the minus-strand transfer step in reverse transcriptase.
