Dactinomycin is one of the
actinomycins, a group of antibiotics produced by various species of Streptomyces.
Dactinomycin is the principal component of the mixture of actinomycins produced
by Streptomyces parvullus. Unlike other species of Streptomyces, this organism
yields an essentially pure substance that contains only traces of similar
compounds differing in the amino acid content of the peptide side chains. The
empirical formula is C62H86N12O16 and
