    Background

    Mitomycin C, also known as MMC, is an antitumor antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces caespitosus (1). When activated, this alkylating agent crosslinks double stranded DNA resulting in DNA damage (2). Mitomycin C has been found to have lethal effects on HeLa cells during the G1 phase of the cell cycle (3). DNA damage caused by Mitomycin C can lead to increased levels of p53 that can result in cell cycle arrest or apoptosis (4).
