Tauromustine, a new taurine-based nitrosourea that was developed as an anticancer agent. Tauromustine participated in phase III clinical trial in patients with either anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) or glioblastoma (GBM) not previously treated with chemotherapy. Besides, was studied in phase III in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Tauromustine also was used in phase II trials for the treatment of malignant glioma. However, further studies were discontinued.
