dna alkylator/crosslinker

Oxaliplatin (L-OHP) is a DNA alkylating agent, an inhibitor of DNA synthesis. Oxaliplatin causes DNA cross-linking damage, preventing DNA replication and transcription and leading to cell death. Oxaliplatin induces autophagy.

Streptozocin (NSC-85998) is an antibiotic that induces DNA methylation. Streptozocin is toxic to insulin-producing pancreatic islet B-cells and is commonly used in the construction of animal models of type 1 diabetes. The product is unstable in solution and is recommended to be dispensed now.

Cisplatin (CDDP) is a DNA cross-linking agent. Cisplatin has antitumor activity and inhibits DNA synthesis by forming DNA adducts in cancer cells. Cisplatin also activates ferroptosis and induces autophagy.

Temozolomide (TMZ) is a DNA alkylating agent with blood-brain barrier permeability and oral activity. Temozolomide has antitumor activity and antiangiogenic activity, and also induces apoptosis and autophagy. Temozolomide is stable under acidic conditions and hydrolyzes under neutral or slightly alkaline conditions.

Carboplatin (JM-8) is a cisplatin derivative, a DNA synthesis inhibitor. Carboplatin binds to DNA, inhibits replication and transcription, and induces cell death. Carboplatin has antitumor activity.

Cyclophosphamide hydrate is a DNA alkylating agent, an inhibitor of DNA synthesis. Cyclophosphamide hydrate has antitumor and immunosuppressive activities.

N-Nitroso-N-methylurea is a nitrosourea compound with alkylating, carcinogenic and mutagenic properties. It targets a variety of animal organs, causes various cancers and degenerative diseases, and can be used in diazomethane synthesis.

Busulfan (Busulphan) is a synthetic derivative of dimethane-sulfonate with antineoplastic and cytotoxic properties. Although its mechanism of action is not fully understood, busulfan appears to act through the alkylation of DNA. Following systemic absorption of busulfan, carbonium ions are formed, resulting in DNA alkylation and DNA breaks and inhibition of DNA replication and RNA transcription.

Cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent used in the treatment of several forms of cancer including leukemias, lymphomas and breast cancer.

Dehydromonocrotaline (Monocrotaline pyrrole) is a metabolite of Monocrotaline. It acts as an alkylating agent, capable of reacting with DNA, exhibiting cytotoxicity, and causing damage to both the liver and lungs.

Semustine, a DNA alkylating agent, is a cancer chemotherapy compound that is nephrotoxic in patients with malignant melanoma receiving adjuvant chemotherapy for the adjuvant treatment of leukemia.

Carmustine (bis-chloroethylnitrosourea) is a cell-cycle phase nonspecific alkylating antineoplastic agent.

Ifosfamide (NSC-109724) alkylates and forms DNA crosslinks, thereby preventing DNA strand separation and DNA replication. Ifosfamide is a synthetic analog of the nitrogen mustard cyclophosphamide with antineoplastic activity. This agent is a prodrug that must be activated through hydroxylation by hepatic microsomal enzymes.

Altretamine (ENT-50852) is an alkylating agent with antineoplastic activity.

Bendamustine hydrochloride (EP-3101) (IC50 of 50 μM) is an alkylating agent associated with DNA damage.

Chlorambucil (CB-1348) is an orally-active antineoplastic aromatic nitrogen mustard. Chlorambucil alkylates and cross-links DNA during all phases of the cell cycle, resulting in disruption of DNA function, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis.

Procarbazine hydrochloride (NSC-77213 HCl) is the hydrochloride salt of a methylhydrazine derivative with antineoplastic and mutagenic activities. Although the exact mode of cytotoxicity has not been elucidated, procarbazine, after metabolic activation, appears to inhibit the trans-methylation of methionine into transfer RNA (t-RNA), thereby preventing protein synthesis and consequently DNA and RNA synthesis. This agent may also undergo auto-oxidation, resulting in the formation of cytotoxic free radicals which damage DNA through an alkylation reaction.

Lomustine (NSC-79037) is an alkylating agent of value against both hematologic malignancies and solid tumors.

PK11000 is a p53 targeting compound, has anti-tumor activities through activation of unstable p53.

RITA (NSC-652287)(NSC-652287) induced cross-links of both DNA-DNA and DNA-protein with no detectable DNA single-strand breaks. RITA, like nutlin-3, can disrupt the p53 Mdm2 interaction.

Satraplatin (BMS182751) is an orally available antineoplastic platinum(IV) complex.Satraplatin has a favorable toxicity profile and appears to have clinical activity against a variety of malignancies.

PF-06647263 (anti-EFNA4-ADC) is an ADC compound targeting EFNA4, with anti-tumor activity, composed of an anti-EFNA4 antibody conjugated with calicheamicin, inducing significant tumor regression in TNBC xenografts.

Miriplatin (SM-11355) (SM-11355) is a platinum complex used in TACE that has promise for the therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Treosulfan (NSC 39069) is a bifunctional alkylating agent used in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer.[2]
