Mitomycin C

Molecular classification
Antineoplastic antibiotic, Alkylating agent
01

Overview

Mitomycin C is a natural product-derived antineoplastic antibiotic and chemotherapeutic agent that functions primarily by forming covalent interstrand crosslinks in DNA after enzymatic reduction inside cells. This action blocks both replication and transcription processes essential for cell survival—making it highly effective against rapidly dividing tumor cells but also responsible for significant side effects due to lack of selectivity between normal proliferative tissues and tumors.
