Abstract excerpt
Chlorambucil (CLB; N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)-p-aminophenylbutyric acid) and its biologically active beta-oxidation product phenylacetic acid mustard (PAM; N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)-p-aminophenylacetic acid) are bifunctional aromatic alkylators. CLB is in wide clinical use as an anticancer drug and also as an immunosuppressant. The chemical structures indicate that CLB and PAM are mutagenic, teratogenic and...
