Overview

Irofulven or 6-hydroxymethylacylfulvene (also known as HMAF of MGI-114) is a substance that is used in the treatment of cancer. It belongs to the family of drugs called alkylating agents.

Irofulven is an analogue of illudin S, a sesquiterpene toxin found in mushrooms of the genus Omphalotus. The compound was oringally synthesized by Dr. Trevor McMorris (UCSD) and found to have anticancer properties by Dr. Michael J Kelner (UCSD).[1]
