Notes:
It is sometimes easier and cheaper to extract a drug's target sites from cells than it is to purify, concentrate or manufacture the drug itself. This is especially true in the case of DNA and some of the exotic antibiotics that react with it. Phleomycin, an inhibitor of replication, was considered as a specific case in point. Biologically active components of this antibiotic mixture bind nondestructively to DNA, in vitro and in vivo, and thereafter may be processed by simple, economical methods usually reserved to macromolecules of much greater size.
