| Synonyms |
L-PAM phenylalanine nitrogen mustard Sarkolysin L-sarcolysin L-phenylalanine mustard Melphalanum CB-3025 Alkeran 4-[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]-L-phenylalanine L-sarcolysin phenylalanine mustard L-sarcolysine alanine nitrogen mustard sarcoclorin WR-19813 phenylalanine mustard p-di(chloroethyl)amino-L-phenylalanine |
|
| Definitions |
A phenylalanine derivative of nitrogen mustard with antineoplastic activity. Melphalan alkylates DNA at the N7 position of guanine and induces DNA inter-strand cross-linkages, resulting in the inhibition of DNA and RNA synthesis and cytotoxicity against both dividing and non-dividing tumor cells.
