What Mitoguazone Dihydrochloride Means in Everyday Language
Mitoguazone Dihydrochloride is a substance studied as a possible treatment for some blood cancers, such as leukemias and lymphomas. It works by blocking the production of certain molecules called polyamines that cells need to grow and divide. By interfering with this process, it may slow down or stop the growth of cancer cells and even cause them to die.
