Chemistry
Mitomycin: C~15~H~18~N~4~O~5~. Mw: 334.33. (1) Azirino[2′,3′:3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole-4,7-dione, 6-amino-8-[[(aminocarbonyl)oxy]methyl]-1,1a,2,8,8a,8b-hexahydro-8a-methoxy-5-methyl-, [1aS-(1aα,8β,8aα,8bα)]-; (2) 6-Amino-1,1a,2,8,8a,8b-hexahydro-8-(hydroxymethyl)-8a-methoxy-5-methylazirino[2′,3′:3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole-4,7-dione carbamate (ester). CAS-50-07-7 (1972).
Pharmacologic Category
Antineoplastic Agents; Cytotoxic Antibiotics and Related Substances; Antibiotic. (ATC-Code: L01DC03).
Mechanism of action
Acts as alkylating agent and produces DNA cross-linking (primarily with guanine and cytosine pairs). Inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis. Degrades preformed DNA, causes nuclear lysis and formation of giant cells.
Therapeutic use
Treatment of adenocarcinoma of stomach or pancreas, bladder cancer, breast cancer, or colorectal cancer.
Pregnancy and lactiation implications
Mitomycin can cause fetal harm in humans. Animal studies show delayed fetal development, fetal external anomalies, and neonatal anomalies. Contraindicated during lactation.
Unlabeled use
Prevention of excess scarring in glaucoma filtration procedures in high risk of bleb failure.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to mitomycin or any component of the formulation. Thrombocytopenia. Coagulation disorders, increased bleeding tendency. Pregnancy.
Warnings and precautions
Hazardous agent. Bladder fibrosis/contraction reported (with intravesical administration). May cause bone marrow suppression (thrombocytopenia and leukopenia). Hemolytic-uremic syndrome, potentially fatal, reported. Potent vesicant, might cause ulceration, necrosis, cellulitis, and tissue sloughing if infiltrated. Caution in renal impairment (serum creatinine is >1.7 mg/dL). Shortness of breath and bronchospasm reported in patients receiving vinca alkaloids in combination with or after mitomycin. Use with caution in patients who have received radiation therapy or in presence of hepatobiliary dysfunction.
