In vitro evidence suggests that MGMT may protect against the urotoxic oxazaphosphorine metabolite, acrolein.

Acrolein and chloroacetaldehyde, metabolites of cyclophosphamide, were not mutagenic in Mgmt+/+ and Mgmt-/- mice.
The DNA repair protein O (6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) protects from toxicity and mutations incurred following alkylating agents by removing O (6)-alkylguanine lesions.

Lipid peroxidation aldehydes of the 4-hydroxy-alpha, beta-unsaturated type, as well as the tobacco-smoke related alpha, beta-unsaturated aldehyde, acrolein, were highly cytotoxic and decreased the intracellular thiol content in cultured human bronchial fibroblasts after treatment with micromolar concentrations.
