Metabolite Identification
Common NameChlorambucil
DescriptionChlorambucil, also known as ambochlorin or chloraminophen, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as nitrogen mustard compounds. Nitrogen mustard compounds are compounds having two beta-haloalkyl groups bound to a nitrogen atom. Chlorambucil is a drug which is used for treatment of chronic lymphatic (lymphocytic) leukemia, childhood minimal-change nephrotic syndrome, and malignant lymphomas including lymphosarcoma, giant follicular lymphoma, hodgkin's disease, non-hodgkin's lymphomas, and waldenström’s macroglobulinemia. Chlorambucil is a moderately basic compound (based on its pKa). Chlorambucil is formally rated as a carcinogen (by IARC 1) and is also a potentially toxic compound.
