For those who do not know, mitomycin finds use as a chemotherapeutic agent by virtue of its antitumour antibiotic activity. Mitomycin is a potent DNA crosslinker. A single crosslink per genome has shown to be effective in killing bacteria. This is accomplished by reductive activation, followed, by two N-alkylations. Because the chemical can cause genetic damage to bacteria, it is possible that mitomycin can also crosslink human DNA, resulting in genetic damage.

How does asbestos poison us is it a mutagen?
Asbestos primarily poses a health risk through inhalation of its fibers, which can cause lung damage, inflammation, and scarring over time, leading to diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. While asbestos itself is not classified as a mutagen, its fibers can cause genetic damage indirectly by triggering chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, which may lead to mutations in nearby cells. This process contributes to the carcinogenic effects associated with asbestos exposure.

What is mitomycin C?
to keep the incision in the eardrum open without the need for tube insertion is application of a medication called mitomycin C, which was originally developed to treat bladder cancer. The mitomycin prevents the incision from sealing over.

No. Diabetes is a condition, not a substance, and therefore cannot be a "mutagen".
