NIMUSTINE 1-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitroso-3-[(2-methyl-4-aminopyrimidine-5-yl)methyl]urea 3-[(4-amino-2-methylpyrimidin-5-yl)methyl]-1-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea 3-(4-amino-2-methyl-pyrimidin-5-ylmethyl)-1-(2-chloro-ethyl)-1-nitroso-urea MFCD01676942 Nimustina Nimustin Nimustinum [INN-Latin] 1-(2-chloro-ethyl)-3-(4-amino-2-methyl-5-pyrimidinyl)methyl-1-nitrosourea Nimustina [INN-Spanish] Nimustine [INN] Nimustinum |
Description | Nimustine is a nitrosourea alkylating agent. Nimustine induces cell apoptosis, and activates DNA damage response and MAPK signaling. Nimustine shows anti-cancer effects, it can be used for the research of cancer[1][2]. |

In Vitro | Nimustine (50 μM; 72-120 h) causes cell death by inducing cell apoptosis[1]. Nimustine (50 μM; 24-96 h) activates the DNA damage response pathway[1]. Nimustine (50 μM; 24-120 h) activates MAPK signaling in glioma cells[1]. Apoptosis Analysis[1] Cell Line: LN-229 cell line Concentration: 50 μM Incubation Time: 72-120 hours Result: Time-dependently induced apoptosis. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: LN-229 and glioma cell lines Concentration: 50 μM Incubation Time: 24-120 hours Result: Induced cleavage of caspase-8 and -9 and the effector caspase-3. Increased phosphorylation of ERK kinase and H2AX. Decreased phosphorylation of JNK |
In Vivo | Nimustine (15 four times a week and 30 mg/kg twice with an interval of 2 weeks; i.v.) effectively inhibits tumor growth and the higher dose is more effective[2]. Animal Model: Female C3H/HeN mice with solid FM3A tumors[2] Dosage: 15 and 30 mg/kg Administration: Intravenous injection; 15 (4 times a week) and 30 mg/kg (twice with an interval of 2 weeks) Result: The intermittent large-dose injections resulted in better inhibition of tumor growth than did the fractionated small-dose injections. |
