Description
  • Antibiotic [1].
  • Cytotoxic to prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells by inhibiting the protein synthesis [1, 3, 4, 6].
  • Apoptosis inducer [5].
  • Widely employed in the selection of eukaryotic expression vectors, in combination with either aminoglycoside phosphotransferase 3' or APH II [2].
  • Antiviral [7, 8].
