Mode of Action
Mitomycin is an antineoplastic antibiotic which is enzymatically reduced to its active metabolite within susceptible cells. The active metabolite appears to cause cross-linking of DNA (primarily with guanine and cytosine pairs). It also active against gram-positive bacteria and some viruses, but its antineoplastic activity precludes its use as an antibiotic.
