| 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. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Potent anticancer agent. Inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis as sequence specific ds-DNA intercalating agent. |
