NCIt synonyms : 2,2'-(1-Methyl-1,2-Ethanediylidene)Bis(Hydrazinecarboximidamide) Dihydrochloride; Pyruvaldehyde Bis(amidinohydrazone) Hydrochloride; 1,1'-((Methylethanediylidene)Dinitrilo)Diguanidine Dihydrochloride; Methylglyoxal Bis(amidinohydrazone) Dihydrochloride; MGBG 2HCl;
NCIt definition : The hydrochloride salt of 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.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance being studied in the treatment of some leukemias and lymphomas.
It blocks the growth of cells and may cause cancer cells to die. It is a type of polyamine
synthesis inhibitor.;
