Metabolite Identification
Common NameLaromustine
DescriptionLaromustine, also known as onrigin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sulfonylureas. These are organic compounds containing a sulfonyl group with the structure R-S(=O)2-R', where R' is an urea. Interstrand DNA cross-links are difficult to repair and are toxic to cells. Laromustine is a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). VNP40101M is a novel alkylating agent that has been used in trials studying the treatment of Leukemia, Lymphoma, Lung Cancer, Small Intestine Cancer, and Myelodysplastic Syndromes, among others. In preclinical studies, Cloretazine (VNP40101M) has been combined with other anticancer agents such as cytarabine (Ara-C). In addition, Cloretazine (VNP40101M) or its metabolite, has been shown to be capable of crossing the blood brain barrier in preclinical models. VNP40101M demonstrates a broad spectrum of anticancer activity in preclinical studies, including activity in selected cell lines resistant to other alkylating agents such as BCNU, cyclophosphamide and melphalan. It releases the DNA chloroethylating agent 90CE after entering the blood stream. 90CE chloroethylates the O6 position of guanine residues, ultimately resulting in an interstrand DNA cross-link. VNP40101M is a small molecule that works by damaging DNA. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Laromustine is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Laromustine is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
