Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
As a DNA alkylating (cross-linking) agent, procarbazine treatment irreversibly interferes with DNA replication, RNA transcription and general disruption of nucleic acid function. This action causes cell death. The drug may have additional actions, see the DrugBank link for further details. Due to the complex and varied nature of nucleic acids we do not include DNA or RNA as targets on this database.
