Mustargen chemotherapy drug molecule. Computer model of a molecule of the chemotherapy drug mechlorethamine (marketed as Mustargen). Atoms are represented as spheres and are colour-coded: carbon (yellow),hydrogen (white),nitrogen (blue) and chlorine (green). Mechlorethamine is used to treat Hodgkin's disease,lymphomas and leukaemias. It is an alkylating agent,a substance that adds alkyl groups to DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules and so prevents them from replicating. This interferes with the cancer cell's growth and eventually destroys them | |
