Mechlorethamine
medication Under reviewMechlorethamine is a nitrogen mustard alkylating agent originally derived from mustard gas research during World War II. It functions by forming covalent bonds with DNA and proteins, creating DNA-protein cross-links and double-strand breaks that disrupt cellular replication and trigger apoptosis, particularly in rapidly dividing cells. This mechanism makes it highly cytotoxic and selective for proliferating tissues.
