General description

Chemical structure: aminoglycoside

Application

Daunorubicin hydrochloride is used in photostability, antileukemic, and drug metabolism studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

On binding to DNA, daunomycin intercalates, with its daunosamine residue directed toward the minor groove. Daunomycin effectively binds to every 3 base pairs which causes unwinding.
Potent anticancer agent. Inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis as sequence specific ds-DNA intercalating agent.

Packaging

5 mg, 25 mg

Other Notes

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Hygroscopic. Store under inert gas.
