Melp halan Hydrochloride APIs Raw Material CAS No.: 3223-07-2
Basic information: Melp halan Hydrochloride is a bifunctional alkylating agent and phenylalanine derivative of nitrogen mustard. Melp halan hydrochloride is converted into highly reactive ethylenimmonium intermediates that induce covalent guanine N7-N7 intra- and inter-crosslinks and alkylation of adenine N3 of DNA. This agent also alkylates RNA and protein structures. As a result RNA transcription and protein synthesis are inhibited, ultimately leading to cell growth arrest and/or death.
