CAS: 10409-78-6

Hexamethylmelamine is an analog of 6-hydrazinyl-N2,N2,N4,N4-tetramethyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine. Hexamethylmelamine is a precursor to the antitumor drug hexamethylmelamine mustard. Hexamethylmelamine mustard is a cytotoxic alkylating agent that reacts with DNA and RNA in the cell nucleus. The reaction between hexamethylmelamine and DNA leads to the crosslinking of DNA strands and inhibits transcription. In this way it prevents the synthesis of new proteins which are required for cell division. It has been used as a chemotherapeutic agent for leukemia and reticulum cell sarcoma but its use has been discontinued due to the toxicity associated with its use.
