General Description

1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(1,1-dioxidotetrahydrothiophen-3-yl)-1-nitrosourea and 3-(2-chloroethyl)-1-(1,1-dioxidotetrahydrothiophen-3-yl)-1-nitrosourea (1:1) are a combination of two chemicals that are used in chemotherapy to treat certain types of cancer, particularly brain tumors. They belong to a class of drugs called alkylating agents, which work by interfering with the DNA of cancer cells, ultimately inhibiting their ability to grow and divide. These chemicals are typically administered intravenously and are known to cause various side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and a reduced immune system. Their use requires close monitoring and careful consideration of potential risks and benefits.
