Product Name: mitoguazone
CAS: 459-86-9
Description: Mitoguazone is a unique chemotherapeutic agent whose activity is believed to result primarily from the competitive inhibition of S-adenosyl-methionine decarboxylase leading to a disruption in polyamine biosynthesis. Initial clinical trials demonstrated that the dose-limiting toxicities (mucositis and myelosuppression) of Mitoguazone were both dose and schedule dependent. Early pharmacokinetic studies of Mitoguazone in man revealed a prolonged half-life.
