Semustine is an orally active, blood-brain barrier permeable antitumor alkylating agent with a binding affinity of 1.53 × 10 3 M -1 for guanine and thymine residues in bovine DNA. Semustine undergoes major groove-directed alkylation at guanine residues to form O6-chloroethylguanine and N1-O6-ethanoguanine adducts, and generates dG-dC interstrand crosslinks. Semustine induces partial B- to C-type transition of DNA, base stacking and helical structure distortion, mild dehydration, as well as partial DNA double-strand unwinding. Semustine can be used in research related to Lewis lung cancer, leukemia, Hodgkin's lymphoma, malignant melanoma, glioma, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma .
