Inhibits DNA synthesis by binding to DNA on the path of alkylation which results in crosslinking of double helical DNA.

b)

Acts on nucleic acids of dividing cells by two main mechanisms: (i) Intercalation between the base pairs of DNA strands and inhibition of the synthesis of DNA and RNA in rapidly growing cells by blocking the replication and transcription process; and (ii) generation of iron-mediated free radicals, causing oxidative damage to cellular membranes, proteins, and DNA

c)

Induces Oxygen- and metal ion-dependent cleaving of DNA. Binds DNA and Fe (II) and hydroxyl radicals are released under the influence of molecular oxygen, causing as a consequence DNA damage and Fe (II) oxidation. Some studies suggest it also inhibits incorporation of thymidine into DNA strands.

d)

Type II topoisomerase inhibitor disrupts DNA synthesis and DNA repair in both healthy cells and cancer cells by intercalation between DNA bases.
