(±)-Glycidol functions as an alkylating agent in development applications. It acts by forming covalent bonds with nucleophilic groups in proteins and DNA, leading to potential mutagenic and carcinogenic effects. (±)-Glycidol can undergo metabolic activation to form reactive intermediates that can bind to cellular macromolecules, causing damage to genetic material and disrupting normal cellular function. Its mechanism of action involves the formation of DNA adducts, which can lead to errors in DNA replication and transcription, ultimately contributing to the development of cancer.
