Description

General description

Chemical structure: glycopeptide

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bleomycin sulfate binds to DNA, causes ssDNA scission at specific base sequences and inhibits DNA synthesis. This inhibitory action requires bleomycin to bind oxygen and a metal ion. It can also cleave RNA, to a lesser degree but more selectively. It acts as an inducer and regulator of apoptosis and inhibits tumor angiogenesis.

Features and Benefits

High quality antibiotic suitable for mulitple research applications.

Preparation Note

The product is soluble in water in water at 20 mg/mL and is active for several days. A solution of 2 units/mL in 0.1 M neutral potassium phosphate should be used within 14 days. A solution is active for three months at 3 units/mL in normal saline.

Other Notes

This product is a mixture of glycopeptides antibiotics containing Bleomycin A₂ (70%) and B₂(30%). Bleomycins differ from each other in the terminal amine and show varying biological activity.
