Daunorubicin forms complexes with DNA by intercalation between base pairs. It inhibits the topoisomerase II activity by stabilizing the DNA topoisomerase II complex, preventing the religation portion of the ligation-relegation reaction that topoisomerase II catalyzes. Daunorubicin also inhibits polymerase activity, affects the regulation of gene expression, and produces free radical damage to DNA.
