Mithramycin A (18378-89-7) inhibits DNA methyl transferase.1 A selective Sp1 inhibitor, it binds to GC rich DNA sequences, displacing Sp1 transcription factor binding to oncogene promoters, inhibiting their expression.2 Mithramycin A (at 10-200 nM) sensitizes tumor cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis.3
