Also known as: Spiromustinum
Spiromustine is a bifunctional alkylating agent belonging to the nitrogen mustard class. It is primarily used in the treatment of brain tumors, particularly gliomas. Its mechanism involves cross-linking DNA strands, thereby inhibiting DNA replication and cell division. Mediocon Inc manufactures GMP-compliant Spiromustine API at its Aurangabad facility.
