Description
Bleomycin is complex of related glycopeptide antibiotics from Streptomyces verticillus consisting of bleomycin A2 and B2. It forms complexes with iron that reduce molecular oxygen to superoxide and hydroxyl radicals which cause single- and double-stranded breaks in DNA. It inhibits DNA metabolism and is used as an antineoplastic, especially for solid tumors. It is a medication used to treat cancer, including Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, testicular cancer, ovarian cancer, and cervical cancer among others. It was initially developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb and has been listed.

Toxicity
Carcinogenicity | 2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans. |
Mechanism Of Toxicity | In primary pulmonary endothelial cells, bleomycin initiates apoptosis via the extrinsic pathway. In relation to bleomycin-induced scleroderma, bleomycin exerts various effects on skin-constituted cells such as fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and endothelial cells, as well as immunocytes. Bleomycin upregulates gene expression of ECM proteins as well as fibrogenic cytokines such as TGF-β and CTGF in cultured human skin fibroblasts. Also, in vitro studies showed a dose-dependent stimulation of endothelial cell secretion of collagen synthesis by bleomycin, which was inhibited by the anti-TGF-β antibody. |
