Product Description
Daunorubicin is an anthracycline drug used that killing cells by inhibiting DNA and RNA synthesis. It intercalates between base pairs and interacts with topoisomerase II, therefore inhibiting DNA replication and repair and RNA synthesis. Daunorubicin was initially isolated from Streptomyces peucetius.
In vitro, daunorubicin inhibits the proliferation of various tumor cells at micromolar level. (1) Clinically, it has been used in treating certain types of acute leukemia and neuroblastoma.
