Chartreusin is an antitumor antibiotic that binds to GC-rich tracts in DNA, with a clear preference for B-DNA over Z-DNA. It inhibits RNA synthesis and causes single-strand scission of DNA via the formation of free radicals. Chartreusin is also potent inhibitor of topoisomerase II.
DMSO and DMF, partially soluble in methanol and ethanol while poorly soluble in water
