액티노마이신 D C화학적 특성, 용도, 생산
화학적 성질
Actinomycin D is a combustible, bright red crystalline solid.
용도
Actinomycin D is the most studied member of a family of unique bicyclic depsipeptides produced by several Streptomyces species. The depsipeptides are linked by a heterocyclic benzoxazone "anchor" that gives the metabolites a highly distinctive red/orange colour. Actinomycin D exhibits potent antibiotic and antitumour activity via DNA intercalation leading to the inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis. Tumour cell death has been demonstrated to occur by apoptosis.
Indications
Dactinomycin (actinomycin D, Cosmegen) is one of a
family of chromopeptides produced by Streptomyces. It
is known to bind noncovalently to double-strand DNA
by partial intercalation, inhibiting DNA-directed RNA
synthesis. The drug is most toxic to proliferating cells,
but it is not specific for any one phase of the cell cycle.
Resistance to dactinomycin is caused by decreased ability
of tumor cells to take up and retain the drug, and it
is associated with cross-resistance to vinca alkaloids, the
anthracyclines, and certain other agents (multidrug resistance).
일반 설명
Bright red rhomboid prisms or red powder.
공기와 물의 반응
Water soluble.
반응 프로필
Actinomycin D can react with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids and strong bases.
화재위험
Flash point data for Actinomycin D are not available. Actinomycin D is probably combustible.
생물학적 활성
Anti-neoplastic antibiotic. Inhibits RNA polymerase and is a potent inducer of apoptosis.
Mechanism of action
Dactinomycin is cleared rapidly from plasma, does
not enter the brain, is not appreciably metabolized or
protein bound, and is gradually excreted in both bile
and urine.Virtually no drug is detected in CSF.
Clinical Use
Dactinomycin is used in curative combined treatment
of Wilms’ tumor, Ewing’s sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma,
and gestational choriocarcinoma. It is active in
testicular tumors, lymphomas, melanomas, and sarcomas,
although its use in most of these malignancies has
been supplanted by other agents.
부작용
The major side effects of dactinomycin are severe
nausea, vomiting, and myelosuppression. Mucositis, diarrhea,
alopecia, and radiation recall reactions may occur.
The drug is immunosuppressive and carcinogenic.
잠재적 노출
An antibiotic product from streptomyces, used as anticancer and veterinary drug

Purification Methods
It crystallises as bright red rhombic crystals from absolute EtOH or from MeOH/EtOH (1:3). It will also crystallise from EtOAc/cyclohexane (m 246-247o dec), CHCl3/pet ether ( m 245-246o dec), and EtOAc/MeOH/*C6H6 (m 241-243o dec). Its solubility in MeCN is 1mg/mL. [] D varies from -296o to -327o (c 0.2, MeOH). max (MeOH) 445, 240nm (log 4.43, 4.49), max (MeOH, 10N HCl, 1:1) 477nm (log 4.21) and max (MeOH, 0.1N NaOH) 458, 344, 285 (log 3.05, 4.28, 4.13). It is HIGHLY TOXIC, light sensitive and anti-neoplastic. [Bullock & Johnson, J Chem Soc 3280 1957, Beilstein 27 III/IV 9642.]
비 호환성
Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides.
