Mitomycin for injection

Function and Efficacy

This product is a non-specific drug for the cell cycle. Mitomycin is most sensitive to the G1 phase of tumor cells, especially the late G1 phase and the early S phase. After enzyme activation in the tissue, it acts like a bifunctional or trifunctional alkylating agent, which can cross-link with DNA, inhibit DNA synthesis, and also has a certain inhibitory effect on RNA and protein synthesis. Subcutaneous injection of 200?g/kg in rats caused death within 60 days, and congestion was found in the liver, kidneys and bone marrow in histology. Mice at 10 to 14 days of pregnancy were given a single intravenous injection of 2.0~10.0mg/kg, and it was found that the surviving fetuses had obvious developmental disorders. The group treated with 7.5mg/kg had deformities such as cleft palate, short tail, micrognathia, and lack of toes.
