NCIt definition : The hydrochloride salt of mechlorethamine, a nitrogen mustard and an analogue of sulfur
mustard, with antineoplastic and immunosuppressive activities. Mechlorethamine is
metabolized to an unstable, highly reactive ethyleniminium intermediate that alkylates
DNA, particularly the 7 nitrogen of guanine residues, resulting in DNA base pair mismatching,
DNA interstrand crosslinking, the inhibition of DNA repair and synthesis, cell-cycle
arrest, and apoptosis. This agent also exhibits lympholytic properties.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A drug used to treat some types of cancer and some skin conditions that
