Usage

General Description

1-(aziridin-2-yl)methanamine, also known as mitomorpholine, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of aziridine-based drugs. It is a potent alkylating agent that has been studied for its potential as an anticancer and antimalarial drug. Mitomorpholine works by binding to DNA and inducing DNA damage, which ultimately leads to cell death. It has also shown promise in the treatment of drug-resistant cancers due to its unique mechanism of action. However, further research and clinical trials are needed to fully understand its potential therapeutic applications. Overall, 1-(aziridin-2-yl)methanamine has shown significant promise as a potential drug candidate for the treatment of cancer and malaria.
