Background Mitomycin C, also known as MMC, is an antitumor antibiotic isolated from (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 G phase of the cell cycle (3). DNA damage caused by Mitomycin C can lead to increased levels of that can result in cell cycle arrest or apoptosis (4).
