General description

A mixture of cytotoxic glycopeptides that inhibits DNA synthesis by reacting with DNA and causing strand scission. Acts by generating hydroxyl free radicals which cleave N-glycosidic bonds and cause base elimination (mainly T) and phosphodiester bond scission. An antineoplastic agent capable of mimicking apoptosis. Useful in the treatment of squamous cell carcinomas, testicular tumors, and malignant lymphomas.
