Ambamustine (hydrochloride)

Ambamustine (PTT119) hydrochloride is a bifunctional alkylating agent and induces DNA damage by alkylating mechanisms. Ambamustine interferes with late steps in murine mammary tumor virus (MuMTV) processing and maturation and reduces production of the B-type retrovirus MuMTV. Ambamustine possesses cytolytic and antiviral activities[1][2].
