Temozolomide is an antitumor, antiangiogenic compound in vitro that may act to work by alkylating DNA, typically through addition of a methyl group to guanine in genomic DNA. The efficacy of Temozolomide is dependent on its ability to methylate the DNA, thus triggering apoptosis however, some cells are able to repair this damage via the enzymes O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT). As a consequence, temozolomide is far more efficacious in tumor cells that have silenced this repair enzyme. Research has also been conducted to determine whether MGMT inhibitors such as O-6-benzylguanine might help to increase the efficacy of temozolomide. Furthermore, it has been implicated in causing arrest at the G2/M cell cycle checkpoint, which might also play a role in its cytotoxicity.
