Melphalan, also known as L-phenylalanine mustard, phenylalanine mustard, L-PAM, or L-sarcolysin, is a phenylalanine derivative of nitrogen mustard. Melphalan is a bifunctional alkylating agent which produces a number of DNA adducts with the DNA interstrand crosslink (ICL) considered to be the critical cytotoxic lesion. Melphalan is used to treat different cancers including myeloma, melanoma and ovarian cancer.

Curator's Comment: RPMI-8226 (multiple myeloma) cells were treated with 10 uM or 100 uM of melphalan.
Melflufen showed activity with cytotoxic IC50-values in the submicromolar range (0.011-0.92 μM) in the cell lines. In the primary cultures melflufen yielded slightly lower IC50-values (2.7 nM to 0.55 μM). Treated cell lines exhibited a clear accumulation in the G2/M-phase of the cell cycle.
