Uses
Temozolomide (CAS NO.85622-93-1) can be used in treatment of Grade IV astrocytoma. Methylation damages the DNA and triggers the death of tumor cells,temozolomide's ability to alkylate/methylate DNA, which most often occurs at the N-7 or O-6 positions of guanine residues for the therapeutic benefit of temozolomide depends .
