UniProtKB description:  NCS has antibiotic activity (for Gram-positive bacteria) and antitumor activity (for certain mouse tumors). NCS binds non-covalently to a chromophore which is the cytotoxic and mutagenic component of the antibiotic. The chromophore binds to DNA as a weak intercalator and causes single- and double-strand breaks.
