Synonyms |
methyl mitomycin Promycin methyl mitomycin C [1aS-(1a alpha,8beta,8a alpha,8b alpha)]-6-amino-8-[[(aminocarbonyl)oxy]methyl]-1,1a,2,8,8a,8b-hexahydro-8a-methoxy-1,5-dimethylazirino[2',3':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole-4,7-dione U-14743 N-methylmitomycin C porphyromycin Methylmitomycin ENT-50825 porfiromycine |
|
Definitions |
An 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. Check for "https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/clinical-trials/intervention/C763" active clinical trials using this agent.
