Quinomycin A (Cat.No:M019914) is a natural antibiotic with potent antitumor activity. It functions by binding to DNA and inhibiting RNA synthesis, leading to cell death. Quinomycin A has been studied for its potential in cancer therapy, particularly against leukemia and other solid tumors. Its unique mechanism makes it a valuable research subject.
