What is Mitomycin ?
Mitomycin is an antineoplastic antibiotic derived from the bacterium Streptomyces caespitosus, used primarily to treat various types of cancer, including gastric, pancreatic, colorectal, and non-small-cell lung cancers. It functions by cross-linking DNA, thereby disrupting DNA synthesis and cell replication, which leads to cell death in rapidly dividing cancer cells. Mitomycin is often administered intravenously and requires careful handling and administration by healthcare professionals due to its potent cytotoxic effects.
