The anticancer drug, bleomycin, has recently been shown to be light-sensitive by a number of research groups. This photosensitivity extends to its complexes with iron(II), copper(II), cobalt(III) and DNA. Nicking of DNA by photoactivated bleomycin occurs at lower concentrations than under dark conditions.

Bleomycin A, which is a complex of water-soluble peptides produced by a Streptomyces, inhibits DNA synthesis in intact cells of E. coli and HeLa cells and also inhibits Ehrlich carcinoma and Sarcoma 180. When it is injected, it distributes in lung and skin at higher concentration than in blood and kidney.

Endogenous annexin A1 counter-regulates bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis [PDF]
Background The balancing functions of pro/anti-inflammatory mediators of the complex innate responses have been investigated in a variety of experimental inflammatory settings. Annexin-A1 (AnxA1) is one mediator of endogenous anti-inflammation, affording
