Temozolomide_product_DataBase

Bioactivity	Temozolomide (NSC 362856) is an oral active DNA alkylating agent that crosses the blood-brain barrier. Temozolomide is also a proautophagic and proapoptotic agent. Temozolomide is effective against tumor cells that are characterized by low levels of O6-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase (OGAT) and a functional mismatch repair system. Temozolomide has antitumor and antiangiogenic effects[1][2].
Invitro	Temozolomide (TZM) is a methylating agent that crosses the blood-brain barrier and is indicated for malignant gliomas and metastatic melanomas. Temozolomide is effective against tumor cells that are characterized by low levels of O6-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase (OGAT) and a functional mismatch repair system (MR)[1]. Determination of the IC50 for Temozolomide (TZM) in different cell lines gave values ranging from 14.1 to 234.6 μM that fell into two clearly differentiated groups: cell lines with low IC50 values (100 μM), which include SF268 (147.2±2.1 μM) and SK-N-SH cells (234.6±2.3 μM)[3].
