The experiment result provides a definitive answer to the real absolute configuration of mitomycin C and may put an end to the dispute that baffles researchers for decadesAt the same time, some contentious structures about the mitomycin C in American Pharmacopoeia USP36-NF31Chinese pharmacopoeia 2015 edtion and numbers of literatures are marked. The absolute configuration is also verified by
