Product Information

• Name: Cinerubin B
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Cinerubin B is an anthracycline antibiotic, which is isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces coeruleorubidus. Its primary mode of action involves intercalating into DNA strands, thereby disrupting the replication and transcription processes within rapidly dividing cancer cells. Cinerubin B specifically interferes with topoisomerase II, an enzyme critical for DNA unwinding, ultimately leading to cytotoxic effects and cell apoptosis in targeted tumor cells.
