Produktinformation

• Name: Urdamycin B
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Urdamycin B is an anthracycline antibiotic, which is derived from the bacterium *Streptomyces fradiae*. This compound acts by intercalating into DNA, disrupting the replication and transcription processes, leading to cell death. Its mode of action involves inhibiting topoisomerase II, an enzyme critical for DNA replication and cell cycle progression. This mechanism impairs cellular proliferation, making it effective against rapidly dividing cells.
