Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including, http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2010/050443s036lbl.pdf

Bleomycin sulfate is an antineoplastic antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces verticillus. It is a mixture of glycopeptide antibiotics containing primarily Bleomycin A2 (~70%) and B2 (~30%). Bleomycin binds to DNA, inhibits DNA synthesis, and causes single strand scission of DNA in vivo and in vitro at specific base sequences.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Bleomycin does not cross the blood-brain barrier.

BLEOMYCIN SULFATE

Approved Use

Bleomycin for Injection, USP should be considered a palliative treatment. It has been shown to be useful in the management of the following neoplasms either as a single agent or in proven combinations with other approved chemotherapeutic agents: Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Head and neck (including mouth, tongue, tonsil, nasopharynx, oropharynx, sinus, palate, lip, buccal mucosa, gingivae, epiglottis, skin, larynx), penis, cervix, and vulva. The response to Bleomycin for Injection is poorer in patients with previously irradiated head and neck cancer. Lymphomas: Hodgkin’s disease, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Testicular Carcinoma: Embryonal cell, choriocarcinoma, and teratocarcinoma. Bleomycin for Injection, USP has also been shown to be useful in the management of: Malignant Pleural Effusion: Bleomycin for Injection is effective as a sclerosing agent for the treatment of malignant pleural effusion and prevention of recurrent pleural effusions.
