mitomycin and Alcoholism

mitomycin has been researched along with Alcoholism in 2 studies

Mitomycin: An antineoplastic antibiotic produced by Streptomyces caespitosus. It is one of the bi- or tri-functional ALKYLATING AGENTS causing cross-linking of DNA and inhibition of DNA synthesis.
mitomycin : A family of aziridine-containing natural products isolated from Streptomyces caespitosus or Streptomyces lavendulae.

Alcoholism: A primary, chronic disease with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. The disease is often progressive and fatal. It is characterized by impaired control over drinking, preoccupation with the drug alcohol, use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, and distortions in thinking, most notably denial. Each of these symptoms may be continuous or periodic.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The level of chromosome aberrations induced by mitomycin C and cytosine arabinoside in the cultured lymphocytes from patients with chronic alcoholism is elevated, as compared to that observed in the cultured lymphocytes of healthy persons."3.67[Sensitivity of the lymphocyte chromosomes of chronic alcoholism patients to mutagenic exposure]. ( Drozdov, ES; Karon, BI; Lil'in, ET; NesvizhskiÄ­, IuV; Seleznev, IuV, 1985)
"Here we show that ethanol withdrawal symptoms were completely absent in cannabinoid CB1 receptor-deficient mice, although acute effects of ethanol and ethanol tolerance and preference were basically normal."1.32A critical role for the cannabinoid CB1 receptors in alcohol dependence and stress-stimulated ethanol drinking. ( Bilkei-Gorzo, A; Michel, K; Palkovits, M; Racz, I; Toth, ZE; Zimmer, A, 2003)
