NCIt definition : An aziridinylbenzoquinone-based alkylating agent with potential antineoplastic activity.
The alkylating group in carboquone becomes activated upon reduction of quinone to
the hydroquinone form. This eventually results in the alkylation and crosslinking
of DNA, thereby inhibiting DNA replication followed by an induction of apoptosis.
In addition, reactive oxygen species may form during redox cycling which may contribute
to this agent's cytotoxic activity.;
