• Description: Mitomycin C is a cytotoxic agent that inhibits DNA synthesis. This product is tested according to USP specification. Mitomycin C has been shown to be effective against resistant mutants and carcinoma cell lines. It also has genotoxic activity and induces statistically significant chromosome aberrations in mammalian cells. Mitomycin C is toxic to the mitochondria, which may be due to its ability to induce mitochondrial membrane potential collapse, leading to apoptosis. Mitomycin C binds to the response element in the genome, causing transcriptional repression of a number of genes involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, or apoptosis. Mitomycin C inhibits squamous carcinoma cells by binding to their DNA and preventing RNA synthesis.
