Bleomycin is a glycopeptide antitumor antibiotic produced by the bacterium S. verticillus. Its mechanism of action causes single- and double-strand DNA breaks in tumor cells, which interrupts the cell cycle.{21617} Bleomycin is thought to achieve this by chelating metal ions, producing a pseudoenzyme that reacts with oxygen to produce superoxide and hydroxide free radicals that cleave DNA.{21617} Bleomycin has been used for the treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma in combination with doxorubicin, squamous cell carcinomas, testicular cancer, as well as in animal models of pulmonary fibrosis.{21618, 21616}
