Usage

Description

Actinomycin C is an antibiotic compound produced by Streptomyces chrysomallus, characterized by its ability to intercalate DNA. This unique property allows it to exert a potent effect on various biological processes, making it a valuable substance in both medical and research applications.

Uses

Used in Antineoplastic Applications:
Actinomycin C is used as an antineoplastic agent for its ability to bind and intercalate DNA, which inhibits the replication and transcription processes in cancer cells. This action leads to the suppression of tumor growth and makes it a valuable tool in cancer treatment.
Used in Medical Research:
Actinomycin C is used as a research tool in molecular biology and genetics for its DNA intercalating properties. It aids scientists in studying the structure, function, and interactions of DNA molecules, contributing to a deeper understanding of genetic mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.
Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Actinomycin C is used as an antibiotic in the pharmaceutical industry for its potent antimicrobial activity. It is particularly effective against certain bacteria, helping to combat infections and contributing to the development of new antimicrobial drugs.

Purification Methods

(A commercial mixture of Actinomycin C1 5%, C2 30% and C3 65% is available). Actinomycin C1 (native) crystallises from EtOAc as red crystals, is soluble in CHCl3, *C6H6 and Me2CO, and has m 246-247o(dec), [] 20D -328o (0.22, MeOH) and max 443nm ( 25,000) and 240nm ( 34,000). Actinomycin C2 (native) crystallises as red needles from EtOAc and has m 244-246o(dec), [] D -325o (c 0.2, MeOH), max 443nm ( 25,300) and 240nm ( 33,400). Actinomycin C3 (native) recrystallises from cyclohexane, or *C6H6/MeOH/cyclohexane as red needles with m 238-241o (dec), [] D -321o (c 0.2, MeOH), max 443nm ( 25,000) and 240nm ( 33,300).
