mitomycinc

Mitomycin C (Ametycine) is an antineoplastic agent and DNA double-strand crosslinking agent capable of inducing DNA damage, inhibiting DNA synthesis, suppressing mitosis, and activating apoptosis. Mitomycin C is a broad-spectrum antibiotic against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.

Decarbamoylmitomycin C, an analog of Mitomycin C (MC), functions as a DNA alkylating agent. It is capable of activating chromatin relaxation by the ataxia-telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein (ATR) in a p53-independent manner.

7-N-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)mitomycin C is a bioactive chemical.

Porfiromycin is a n N-methyl derivative of the antineoplastic antibiotic mitomycin C isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces ardus and other Streptomyces bacterial species. Bioreduced porfiromycin generates oxygen radicals and alkylates DNA, producing interstrand cross-links and single-strand breaks, thereby inhibiting DNA synthesis. Porfiromycin is preferentially toxic to hypoxic cells.
