DescriptionCarmustine, also known as BCNU or gliadel, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as nitrosoureas. Nitrosoureas are compounds containing a nitro group and an urea group N-N linked together, with the general structure R1N(R2)C(=O)N(R3)N=O. Carmustine is a drug which is used for the treatment of brain tumors, multiple myeloma, hodgkin's disease and non-hodgkin's lymphomas. Carmustine (bis-chloroethylnitrosourea, BCNU, BiCNU) is a medication used mainly for chemotherapy. Carmustine is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Outside of the human body, Carmustine has been detected, but not quantified in, mollusks. This could make carmustine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. It is also used as part of a chemotherapeutic protocol in preparation for hematological stem cell transplantation, a type of bone marrow transplant, in order to reduce the white blood cell count in the recipient. Carmustine is formally rated as a probable carcinogen (by IARC 2A) and is also a potentially toxic compound. It is a nitrogen mustard β-chloro-nitrosourea compound. In the treatment of brain tumours, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved biodegradable discs infused with carmustine (Gliadel). . The product is now available as a generic version with other manufacturers offering the product licensed in the USA and EU markets. Carmustine is used as an alkylating agent to treat several types of brain cancer including glioma, glioblastoma multiforme, medulloblastoma and astrocytoma), multiple myeloma, and lymphoma (Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin). They are implanted under the skull during a surgery called a craniotomy. In India it is sold under various brand names, including Consium.
