General description

Phleomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic and is a member of the bleomycin family.

Application

Phleomycin from Streptomyces verticillus has been used as an antibiotic in the screening of transformants of Trypanosoma brucei. It has also been used as an antibiotic in the maintenance of Escherichia coli.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phleomycin can bind and intercalate with the DNA that leads to DNA strand breaks. It acts as an inhibitor of DNA replication.

The kinetics and mechanism of binding of Cu-(II).bleomycin, Fe(III).bleomycin, and Cu(II).phleomycin to DNA were studied by using fluorometry, equilibrium dialysis, electric dichroism, and temperature-jump and stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The affinity of Cu(II).bleomycin for DNA was greater than that of metal-free bleomycin
