Duocarmycin Antineoplastic Antibiotic
A spirocyclopropylhexadienone-containing antineoplastic antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces bacterial species or derived synthetically. Duocarmycin antibiotics alkylate DNA by binding to adenine-thymine (A-T)- rich sequences in the minor groove of DNA, thereby inhibiting DNA replication and inducing apoptosis. (NCI Thesaurus)
