Chemical compound

Nitrosourea is both the name of a molecule, and a class of compounds that include a nitroso (R-NO) group and a urea.

Examples

Examples include:

Arabinopyranosyl-N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (Aranose)
Carmustine (BCNU, BiCNU)
Chlorozotocin
Ethylnitrosourea (ENU)
Fotemustine
Lomustine (CCNU)
Nimustine
N-Nitroso-N-methylurea (NMU)
Ranimustine (MCNU)
Semustine
Streptozocin (Streptozotocin)

Nitrosourea compounds are DNA alkylating agents and are often used in chemotherapy. They are lipophilic and thus can cross the blood–brain barrier, making them useful in the treatment of brain tumors such as glioblastoma multiforme.

Side effects

Some nitrosoureas (e.g. lomustine) have been associated with the development of interstitial lung disease.
