General description

Carmustine is a mustard gas related β-chloro-nitrosourea compound, which is used in chemotherapy. It inhibits DNA replication and DNA transcription.

Application

Carmustine has been used to select transduced cells expressing MGMTP140K, a foamy virus vector. It has also been used in fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) assay, to test the response of cell lines to carmustine.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Carmustine is a DNA alkylating agent causing DNA interstrand crosslinks. Effective against glioma and other solid tumors.

Discover Bioactive Small Molecules for Apoptosis

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death (PCD), is a selective process for the removal of unnecessary, infected or transformed cells in various biological systems. As it plays a role in the homeostasis of multicellular organisms, apoptosis is tightly regulated through two principal pathways by a number of regulatory and effector molecules.

Discover Bioactive Small Molecules for Cell Cycle Research

n proliferating cells, the cell cycle consists of four phases. Gap 1 (G1) is the interval between mitosis and DNA replication that is characterized by cell growth. Replication of DNA occurs during the synthesis (S) phase, which is followed by a second gap phase (G2) during which growth and preparation for cell division occurs. Together, these three stages comprise the interphase phase of the cell cycle. Interphase is followed by the mitotic (M) phase.
