Nitrosourea compounds are DNA alkylating agents and are often used in chemotherapy.[1] They are lipophilic and thus can cross the blood–brain barrier, making them useful in the treatment of brain tumors such as glioblastoma multiforme.[2]
Side effects
Some nitrosoureas (e.g. lomustine) have been associated with the development of interstitial lung disease.[3]
