Phleomycins are a group of antitumor antibiotics produced by the bacterium Streptomyces verticillus. They are known for their potent antitumor activity against a wide range of cancer types, including leukemia, lymphoma, and solid tumors. Their unique mode of action involves the intercalation of their chromophore into DNA, leading to DNA strand scission and inhibition of DNA replication. This property makes phleomycins attractive for cancer treatment. However, their clinical use has been limited due to their severe toxicity, including nephrotoxicity and myelosuppression. Ongoing research focuses on developing phleomycin derivatives with improved therapeutic indices and reduced side effects. The phleomycin family is studied to understand its mechanism of action, to develop new anticancer drugs with better therapeutic profiles, and to explore their potential use in gene therapy and as research tools for DNA manipulation.'

Phleomycins: Water-soluble, copper-containing low molecular weight polypeptides obtained from the culture medium of Streptomyces verticillus. They are specific inhibitors of DNA synthesis in bacteria and have been found to act as antitumor agents. They have also been used against rust fungi of plants.

phleomycin : A mixture of glycopeptide antibiotics originally isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces verticillus whose components all contain a thiazolinylthiazole moiety and can form complexes with redox-active metals such as Co, Cu, and Fe. (Bleomycins are very similar to phleomycins, but have a bithiazole moiety in place of the thiazolinylthiazole moiety).
