CAS 50-07-7: Mitomycin C
Description:Mitomycin C is a potent antitumor antibiotic derived from the bacterium Streptomyces caespitosus. It is classified as an alkylating agent, which means it interferes with DNA synthesis and function, making it effective in treating various cancers, particularly in cases of bladder and gastrointestinal tumors. The compound exhibits a unique mechanism of action by forming cross-links between DNA strands, ultimately leading to cell death. Mitomycin C is typically administered intravenously and is known for its cytotoxic effects, which can result in significant side effects, including myelosuppression, nausea, and potential organ toxicity. Its chemical structure features a quinone moiety, which plays a crucial role in its reactivity and biological activity. Due to its effectiveness, Mitomycin C is often used in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents to enhance therapeutic outcomes. However, careful monitoring is essential during treatment to manage adverse effects and ensure patient safety.
