Also known as Bendamustine Hydrochloride, Ribomustin, SDX-105, or Treakisym.
General information
Class/mechanism: Nitrogen mustard, alkylator; bifunctional mechlorethamine derivative containing a purine-like benzimidazole ring which forms electrophilic alkyl groups, resulting in interstrand DNA crosslinks, leading to cell death via several pathways in both quiescent and dividing cells.[1][2][3]
Route: IV
Extravasation: vesicant
