DETAILS

Description (English)
Research Area: Cancer
Biological Activity:
Lomustine (CeeNU) is an alkylating agent of value against both hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. Lomustine is a highly lipophilic nitrosourea compound which undergoes hydrolysis in vivo to form reactive metabolites. These metabolites cause alkylation and cross-linking of DNA. Other biologic effects include inhibition of DNA synthesis and some cell cycle phase specificity. Nitrosureas generally lack cross-resistance with other alkylating agents. [1]
