Active ingredients

The drug TEMOL contains one active pharmaceutical ingredient (API):

1 Temozolomide
UNII YF1K15M17Y - TEMOZOLOMIDE

Temozolomide is a triazene, which undergoes rapid chemical conversion at physiologic pH to the active monomethyl triazenoimidazole carboxamide (MTIC). The cytotoxicity of MTIC is thought to be due primarily to alkylation at the O6 position of guanine with additional alkylation also occurring at the N7 position. Cytotoxic lesions that develop subsequently are thought to involve aberrant repair of the methyl adduct.
