Abstract

Daunomycin (NSC-82151) is an antibiotic isolated from cultures of Streptomyces peucetius (DiMarcoet al. 1963; DiMarcoet al., 1964b). While weakly active against some microorganisms, the drug inhibits the multiplication of bacterial and animal viruses and exhibits a high cytotoxic activity against normal and neoplastic cells (Di Marcoet al., 1964a).
