CAS 4342-03-4: Dacarbazine
Description:Dacarbazine, with the CAS number 4342-03-4, is an antineoplastic agent primarily used in chemotherapy for the treatment of various cancers, including melanoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is classified as an alkylating agent, which means it works by interfering with the DNA replication process in cancer cells, ultimately leading to cell death. Dacarbazine is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and has a relatively low molecular weight. Its chemical formula is C6H10N4O2S, and it is often administered intravenously. The drug is known to have a range of side effects, including nausea, vomiting, and myelosuppression, which necessitates careful monitoring during treatment. Dacarbazine is typically used in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents to enhance its efficacy and improve patient outcomes. As with all chemotherapeutic agents, its use should be guided by a healthcare professional, considering the specific cancer type and patient health status.
