Preferred Label : nitrogen mustard compounds;
MeSH definition : A group of alkylating agents derived from mustard gas, with the sulfur replaced by
nitrogen. They were formerly used as toxicants and vesicants, but now function as
antineoplastic agents. These compounds are also powerful mutagens, teratogens, immunosuppressants,
and carcinogens.;
