About Temozolomide
Temozolomide - a imidazotetrazine derivative of the alkylating agent dacarbazine - is an oral chemotherapy drug which is considered to be a prodrug. Temozolomide is used as a treatment of several brain cancer forms, e.g., as a second-line treatment for astrocytoma and as a first-line treatment for glioblastoma. The therapeutic benefit of temozolomide is due to its ability to alkylate/methylate DNA. This alkylation/methylation destroys the DNA and triggers the death of the tumor cells. Temozolomide was developed by Malcolm Stevens and his team at Aston University in Birmingham in UK and has been available in the US since year 1999, and in other countries since year 2000.

It affects glial cells and accounts for 52% of all brain tissue tumor cases and 20% of all tumors inside the skull. About 50% of the patients diagnosed with glioblastoma die within one year, and 90% - within three years.
