Streptozotocin (18883-66-4) is an N-nitroso-aminoglucose derivative which is used to produce animal models of diabetes.1 Alkylates DNA.2 Inhibits pancreatic β-cell O-Glc-NAc selective N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase.3  Selectively induces death of β-cells which mechanistically is independent of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase inhibition.4 Streptozotocin is not a spontaneous NO donor.5
