Description
  • Antibiotic [1].
  • Diabetogenic. Diabetes inducer. Induces diabetes mellitus in animal models through its toxic effects on pancreatic β-cells [2, 5, 13, 14].
  • Mutagenic [3, 10].
  • Potent alkylating agent. Potent DNA methylating agent [4, 10].
  • Nitric oxide (NO) donor. Vasorelaxant [6].
  • Cytotoxic to cells that express GLUT2 glucose transporter [7].
  • O-GlcNAc-selective N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (O-GlcNAcase) inhibitor [8].
  • Genotoxic. Induces DNA damage. Produces DNA strand breaks [9, 10]. Cell death inducer [15].
  • Antineoplastic. Anti-cancer agent used in chemotherapy [10, 11].
  • Induces cell cylce arrest at G2 [12].
