Additionnal Information
Semustine is a member of the chloroethyl nitrosourea (CENU) family that induces DNA alkylation at the major groove, forming interstrand cross-links between guanine and cytosine bases (dG-dC) . It exerts antitumor activity by inducing these DNA cross-links and is used as an antineoplastic alkylating agent for treating Lewis lung carcinoma, leukemia, and metastatic brain tumors.
