Common NameMitomycin
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionMitomycin is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is an antineoplastic antibiotic produced by Streptomyces caespitosus. It is one of the bi- or tri-functional alkylating agents causing cross-linking of DNA and inhibition of DNA synthesis. Mitomycin is activated in vivo to a bifunctional and trifunctional alkylating agent. Binding to DNA leads to cross-linking and inhibition of DNA synthesis and function. Mitomycin is cell cycle phase-nonspecific.

Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureIntravesical, erratic, intravenous.
Mechanism of ToxicityMitomycin is activated in vivo to a bifunctional and trifunctional alkylating agent. Binding to DNA leads to cross-linking and inhibition of DNA synthesis and function. Mitomycin is cell cycle phase-nonspecific.
MetabolismPrimarily hepatic, some in various other tissues. Route of Elimination: Approximately 10% of a dose of mitomycin is excreted unchanged in the urine. Half Life: 8-48 min
Toxicity ValuesLD50: 23 mg/kg (Oral, Mouse) (1) LD50: 30 mg/kg (Oral, Rat) (1)
Lethal DoseNot Available
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans. (3)
Uses/SourcesFor treatment of malignant neoplasm of lip, oral cavity, pharynx, digestive organs, peritoneum, female breast, and urinary bladder. Also used as an adjunct to ab externo glaucoma surgery.
Minimum Risk LevelNot Available
Health EffectsMitomycin C causes delayed bone marrow toxicity and therefore it is usually administered at 6-weekly intervals. Prolonged use may result in permanent bone-marrow damage. It may also cause lung fibrosis and renal damage.
