phleomycin
phleomycin
A mixture of glycopeptide antibiotics originally isolated from the bacterium <em>Streptomyces verticillus</em> whose components all contain a thiazolinylthiazole moiety and can form complexes with redox-active metals such as Co, Cu, and Fe. (Bleomycins are very similar to phleomycins, but have a bithiazole moiety in place of the thiazolinylthiazole moiety).
