Beschreibung

Carmustine is a DNA alkylating agent which also cross-links DNA. As a result Carmustine disrupts the function of DNA, resulting in the arrest the cell cycle and apoptosis. Consequently these properties of Carmustine, in addition to its ability to easily transmit through the blood-brain barrier, mean it can be used as a cancer treatment, treating cancers such as, breast, ovarian and pancreatic as well as lymphomas and leukemias. Furthermore Carmustine can contribute to cytotoxic effects through its ability to carbamoylate DNA repair enzymes and proteins.
