Actinomycin D is an anti-neoplastic antibiotic that inhibits cell proliferation by forming a stable complex with DNA and blocking the movement of RNA polymerase.


  • Anti-neoplastic antibiotic
  • Potent anti-tumor agent
  • Used as a selection agent for cell culture applications


Biochemical/physiological actions: An antineoplastic antibiotic that inhibits cell proliferation by forming a stable complex with DNA and blocking the movement of RNA polymerase which interferes with DNA-dependent RNA synthesis. For cell culture applications, actinomycin D is used as a selection agent and is used in banding techniques to differentiate between different regions of chromosomes.
