NCIt definition : A guanylhydrazone with potential antineoplastic activity. Mitoguazone competitively
inhibits S-adenosyl-L-methionine decarboxylase (SAMD), an enzyme involved in the synthesis
of polyamines, resulting in decreased proliferation of tumor cells, antimitochondrial
effects, and p53-independent apoptosis. Polyamines, specifically spermine and spermidine,
are essential for thymidine kinase production, DNA synthesis, and cell proliferation.
