Echinomycin

A peptide antibiotic of the quinoxaline family, produced by bacteria of the genus Streptomyces: it slots into DNA and prevents the factor HIF-1α from binding, and it also attracts interest as a possible anticancer agent. This family brings together other impurities.

Did you know?It is a "bis-intercalator": it slips into DNA at two points at once. One of the bacteria that produce it, Streptomyces echinatus, was isolated from soil in Angola.
