Temozolomide is a chemotherapy drug used to treat certain types of brain tumours called glioblastoma multiforme or anaplastic astrocytoma.
Description:
Temozolomide is an antitumor, antiangiogenic compound that has been shown to work by alkylating DNA, typically through addition of a methyl group to guanine in genomic DNA. The efficacy of this compound is dependent on its ability to methylate the DNA, thus triggering apoptosis;
however, some cells are able to repair this damage via the enzymes O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT). As a consequence, temozolomide is far more efficacious in tumor cells that have silenced this repair enzyme. Research has also been conducted to determine whether MGMT inhibitors such as O-6-benzylguanine might help to increase the efficacy of temozolomide. Furthermore, temozolomide has been implicated in causing arrest at the G2/M cell cycle checkpoint, which mightalso play a role in its cytotoxicity.
