| nitrogen mustard compounds | <chemical> 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 agent. These compounds are also powerful mutagens, teratogens, immunosuppressants, and carcinogens. Pharmacological action: antineoplastic agent, alkylating, carcinogens, mutagens, teratogens. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfur mustard | <chemical> 1,1'-thiobis(2-chloroethane). Severe irritant and vesicant of skin, eyes, and lungs. It may cause blindness and lethal lung oedema and was formerly used as a war gas. The substance has been proposed as a cytostatic and for treatment of psoriasis. It has been listed as a known carcinogen in the fourth annual report on carcinogens (ntp-85-002, 1985) (merck, 11th ed).

| quinacrine mustard | <chemical> 2-methoxy-6-chloro-9-[4-bis(beta-chloroethyl)amino-1-methylbutylamino]acridine. Nitrogen mustard analog of quinacrine used primarily as a stain in the studies of chromosomes and chromatin. Fluoresces by reaction with nucleic acids in chromosomes. Pharmacological action: fluorescent dyes. Chemical name: 1,4-Pentanediamine, N1,N1-bis(2-chloroethyl)-N4-(6-chloro-2-methoxy-9-acridinyl)-, dihydrochloride (12 Dec 1998) |
| uracil mustard | <chemical> Nitrogen mustard derivative of uracil. It is a alkylating antineoplastic agent that is used in lymphatic malignancies, and causes mainly gastrointestinal and bone marrow damage. Pharmacological action: antineoplastic agent, alkylating. Chemical name: 2,4(1H,3H)-Pyrimidinedione, 5-(bis(2-chloroethyl)amino)- (12 Dec 1998) |
