Product Information

• Name: Chromomycin A3 from streptomyces griseus
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Chromomycin A3 (CMA3) is a cytotoxic antibiotic that is produced by Streptomyces griseus. CMA3 inhibits DNA synthesis and provides protection against bacterial infection, as well as cancer cells. It binds to the D-loop region of duplex DNA, which prevents the progression of polymerase chain reactions. CMA3 has been shown to be effective in inhibiting growth of gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria, as well as many species of fungi. The use of CMA3 may be complicated by its toxicity to animal cells, so it should only be used in combination with other antibiotics because it can reduce the toxicity of other drugs.
