LAROMUSTINE is a sulfonylhydrazine alkylating agent. It is metabolized to yield a chloroethylating compound (VNP-4090-CE) and a carbamoylating compound (methyl isocyanate). The former is primarily responsible for the antineoplastic effect of LAROMUSTINE. It alkylates the O6 position of guanine, resulting in DNA crosslinking, strand breaks, chromosomal aberrations, and disruption of DNA synthesis. The carbamoylating species contribute to antitumor activity by inhibiting O6-alkylguanine transferase, an enzyme involved with DNA repair. It was studied in the treatment of several types of cancer, however, its development was discontinued.
