Stallimycin, also known as distamycin A is an antibacterial and antitumor compound. It is able to bind to the minor groove of double-stranded B-DNA in a non intercalative manner, where it forms strong reversible complex preferentially at the nucleotide sequences consisting of 4-5 adjacent AT base pairs. The pyrrole-amide skeleton of distamycin A has been also used as DNA sequence selective vehicles for the delivery of alkylating functions to DNA targets, leading to a sharp increase of its cytotoxicity, in comparison to that, very weak, of distamycin itself.
