Product Information

• Name: Bleomycin
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Bleomycin is an antineoplastic antibiotic, which is derived from the bacterium *Streptomyces verticillus*. Its mode of action involves binding to DNA and inducing strand breaks through the generation of free radicals, particularly in regions rich in guanine and cytosine. This leads to inhibition of DNA synthesis and, consequently, cellular replication, making it effective in targeting rapidly dividing cancer cells.
