Abstract: In 0.05mol/L H2SO4 solution, two reductive peaks P1 and P2 of bleomycin A5were obtained.The peak potentials Ep1, and Ep2 are -0.83 Vand - 1.09 V(vs., Ag/AgCl),respectively.The voltammetrlc behaviour and reaction mechanism of bleomycin A5, have been studied by means of linear sweep and cyclic voltammetry, NPP, ACpolarography and UVspectrophotometry.The experiments have proved that P1 is irreversible adsorption wave,which involves two electrons process for the reduction of 3, 4(N = C) group in pyrimidine cyclic of bleomycin A5.P2 is also the irreversible adsorption wave, which involves further re-duction of pyrimidine cycle and catalyt1c hydrogen wave.
