Overview
Clomesone is the 2-chloroethyl ester of (methylsulfonyl) methanesulfonic acid with potential antineoplastic effects. Acting as a chloroethylating agent, clomesone induces the formation of DNA interstrand crosslinks in some cell lines, and exhibits antitumor activity in some animal models. Alkylating agents exert cytotoxic and, in some cases, chemotherapeutic effects by transferring alkyl groups to DNA, thereby damaging DNA and interfering with DNA synthesis and cell division. (NCI04)

Applications
UsesClomesone (NSC 338947) is a compound with antitumor activity. Clomesone induces the formation of cross-links between DNA strands in cell lines. Clomesone is inactive against most human colorectal cancer solid tumor cell lines in vitro, has no significant activity against mouse tumors in vivo, and is accompanied by bone marrow suppression. Its pharmacokinetic behavior indicates that it cannot reach effective concentrations at the tumor site.
