General Description

2-[2,5-bis(aziridin-1-yl)-4-methyl-3,6-dioxocyclohexa-1,4-dien-1-yl]-2-methoxyethyl 4-formylpiperazine-1-carboxylate is a chemical compound that contains two aziridine groups, a cyclohexadiene ring, a methoxyethyl group, and a formylpiperazine carboxylate. It is a potent alkylating agent that is used in cancer chemotherapy to prevent the replication of cancerous cells by damaging their DNA and preventing cell division. The compound is highly toxic and must be handled with extreme caution, as it can lead to severe side effects and toxicity if mishandled or improperly administered. Due to its potential health hazards, it is tightly regulated and used only under strict medical supervision.
