Also known as -nitrosomethylharnstoff, Zanosar, 2-Deoxy-2-(3-methyl-3-nitrosoureido)-D-glucopyranose, Estreptozocina, Streptozotocin, Streptozocinium, N-D-Glucosyl-(2)-n'-nitrosomethylurea, 2-Deoxy-2-(((methylnitrosoamino)carbonyl)amino)-D-glucopyranose

Streptozotocin or streptozocin (INN, USP) (STZ) is a naturally occurring alkylating antineoplastic agent that is particularly toxic to the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas in mammals. It is used in medicine for treating certain cancers of the islets of Langerhans and used in medical research to produce an animal model for hyperglycemia and Alzheimer's in a large dose, as well as type 2 diabetes or type 1 diabetes with multiple low doses.
