Identification
Common NameUracil mustard
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionUracil mustard is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is a nitrogen mustard derivative of uracil. It is a alkylating antineoplastic agent that is used in lymphatic malignancies, and causes mainly gastrointestinal and bone marrow damage. After activation, uracil mustard binds preferentially to the guanine and cytosine moieties of DNA, leading to cross-linking of DNA, thus inhibiting DNA synthesis and function.
