meractinomicina
Scope note: Sustancia compuesta por dos PÉPTIDOS CÍCLICOS unidos a la fenoxazina, que deriva del STREPTOMYCES parvullus. Se une al ADN e inhibe la síntesis de ARN (transcripción), con la elongación de la cadena más sensible que la iniciación, la terminación o extensión. Como resultado de la producción alterada de ARNm, la síntesis proteica también declina después del tratamiento con dactinomicina (de AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1993, p2015).

Scope note: A compound composed of a two CYCLIC PEPTIDES attached to a phenoxazine that is derived from STREPTOMYCES parvullus. It binds to DNA and inhibits RNA synthesis (transcription), with chain elongation more sensitive than initiation, termination, or release. As a result of impaired mRNA production, protein synthesis also declines after dactinomycin therapy. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1993, p2015)
