Electrochemistry of potentially bioreductive alkylating quinones : Part 1. Electrochemical properties of relatively simple quinones, as model compounds of mitomycin- and aziridinylquinone-type antitumour agents [PDF]
The influence of methyl-, hydroxy and amino substituents on the electrochemical behaviour of simple 1,4-naphtho-and 1,4-benzoquinones, model compounds of many quinoid antitumour agents, in aqueous media was studied. Significant changes in electrochemical

Characterization of a Reductively-Activated Elimination Pathway Relevant to the Biological Chemistry of the Kinamycins and Lomaiviticins [PDF]
The lomaiviticins (1 and 2) and kinamycins (3–5) are bacterial metabolites with potent antimicrobial and antiproliferative activities. Herein we establish that 1–5 are capable of generating electrophilic acylfulvene intermediates (6) under mildly ...

Probing the Mechanism of DNA Protein Crosslink Formation by Aziridinomitosenes Through the Selective Precipitation of Protein Salts [PDF]
Aziridinomitosenes are synthetic chemotherapeutic agents that are analogs of Mitomycin C, as well as other mitomycins. They are known for their ability to form DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs), and more recently have been observed to form DNA-protein ...

Mitomycins syntheses: a recent update
Mitomycins are a class of very potent antibacterial and anti-cancer compounds having a broad activity against a range of tumours. They have been used in clinics since the 1960’s, and the challenges represented by their total synthesis have challenged ...

Pharmacokinetics of Mitomycin C Following Hepatic Arterial Chemoembolization With Gelfoam [PDF]
Twelve mongrel dogs were randomly allocated into two groups using matched paired-design. Catheters were inserted into the hepatic artery, hepatic vein and the femoral vein, respectively. In the first group, gelfoam supplemented with mitomycin C (MMC) was
