  3. Phleomycin

Phleomycin is a copper-dependent DNA damaging agent and antibiotic with antitumor activity. Phleomycin binds to DNA and produces ROS in the presence of reducing agents (such as dithiothreitol and glutathione), inducing single-strand and double-strand breaks in DNA. Phleomycin can induce cell apoptosis or mutation and is widely used in cancer inhibition, microbial genetic transformation (as a screening marker to improve fungal transformation efficiency) and DNA repair mechanism research.

Description

Phleomycin is a copper-dependent DNA damaging agent and antibiotic with antitumor activity. Phleomycin binds to DNA and produces ROS in the presence of reducing agents (such as dithiothreitol and glutathione), inducing single-strand and double-strand breaks in DNA. Phleomycin can induce cell apoptosis or mutation and is widely used in cancer inhibition, microbial genetic transformation (as a screening marker to improve fungal transformation efficiency) and DNA repair mechanism research[1][2][3].

IC50 & Target

Glycopeptide

 

In Vitro

1. Phleomycin (1-25 μg/mL; overnight) can increase the transformation efficiency by more than 10 times in the protoplast transformation experiment of Schizophyllum commune, promote single copy integration, and upregulate the expression of DNA repair genes KU70 and RAD52[2].
2. Phleomycin (2 μg/mL, 10 μg/mL; 90 min-4 h) selectively inhibits DNA synthesis in Escherichia coli (E. coli) and HeLa cells and reduces 3H-thymidine incorporation into DNA. At 20 μg/mL, the DNA degradation activity is significantly lower than that of Mitomycin C (HY-13316)[3].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
