Actinomycin

From Freepedia

Actinomycin is any of a class of polypeptide antibiotics isolated from soil bacteria of the genus Streptomyces.

It was the first antibiotic shown to have anti-cancer activity, but is not normally used as such, as it is highly toxic, causing damage to genetic material.

Actinomycin-D is marketed under the trade name Dactinomycin.
