Daunorubicin is an anthracycline first produced by Streptomyces. Daunorubicin exhibits anticancer chemotherapeutic activity and is clinically used to treat various cancers, including neuroblastoma and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Like other anthracyclines, daunorubicin acts as an intercalator and inhibitor of topoisomerase II. Daunorubicin also promotes histone H2AX eviction from chromatin, inhibiting DNA repair mechanisms.
