Temozolomide

An orally administered antineoplastic alkylating agent used primarily for the treatment of glioblastoma and other selected malignant gliomas. Temozolomide undergoes spontaneous conversion at physiological pH to the active intermediate MTIC, which generates a reactive methylating species that modifies DNA, particularly at the O6 and N7 positions of guanine. These lesions impair DNA replication and promote tumor cell death. Temozolomide crosses the blood–brain barrier and is commonly administered with radiotherapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Tumor MGMT promoter methylation is an important predictor of treatment response
