D007069	Ifosfamide	Positional isomer of CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE which is active as an alkylating agent and an immunosuppressive agent.	Isofosfamide,Isophosphamide,Asta Z 4942,Holoxan,Iphosphamide,Iso-Endoxan,NSC-109,724,NSC-109724,Iso Endoxan,NSC 109,724,NSC 109724,NSC109,724,NSC109724
D008453	Maytansine	An ansa macrolide isolated from the MAYTENUS genus of East African shrubs.	Maitansine,DMMO-Maytansine,Emtansine,Maytansinoid DM1,Maytansinoid DM4,Mertansine,N2'-Deacetyl-N2'-(4-mercapto-4-methyl-1-oxopentyl)maytansine,Ravtansine,Soravtansine,DM1, Maytansinoid,DM4, Maytansinoid,DMMO Maytansine
D002330	Carmustine	A cell-cycle phase nonspecific alkylating antineoplastic agent. It is used in the treatment of brain tumors and various other malignant neoplasms. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p462) This substance may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen according to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985). (From Merck Index, 11th ed)	BCNU,1,3-Bis(2-Chloroethyl)-1-Nitrosourea,BiCNU,FIVB,N,N'-Bis(2-Chloroethyl)-N-Nitrosourea,Nitrumon
D002945	Cisplatin	An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.	Platinum Diamminodichloride,cis-Diamminedichloroplatinum(II),cis-Dichlorodiammineplatinum(II),Biocisplatinum,Dichlorodiammineplatinum,NSC-119875,Platidiam,Platino,Platinol,cis-Diamminedichloroplatinum,cis-Platinum,Diamminodichloride, Platinum,cis Diamminedichloroplatinum,cis Platinum
D003961	Dianhydrogalactitol	One of the cytotoxic dihalohexitols that alkylates and cross-links DNA via an epoxide group during all phases of the cell cycle, resulting in a disruption of DNA function and cell cycle arrest. It has antineoplastic activity and also causes bone marrow toxicity.	Dianhydrodulcitol,Diepoxydulcitol,Diepoxygalactitol,1,2,5,6-Dianhydrogalactitol,1,2-5,6-Dianhydrogalactitol,NSC-132313,NSC 132313,NSC132313
D004341	Drug Evaluation	Any process by which toxicity, metabolism, absorption, elimination, preferred route of administration, safe dosage range, etc., for a drug or group of drugs is determined through clinical assessment in humans or veterinary animals.	Evaluation Studies, Drug,Drug Evaluation Studies,Drug Evaluation Study,Drug Evaluations,Evaluation Study, Drug,Evaluation, Drug,Evaluations, Drug,Studies, Drug Evaluation,Study, Drug Evaluation
D005641	Tegafur	Congener of FLUOROURACIL with comparable antineoplastic action. It has been suggested especially for the treatment of breast neoplasms.	1-(2-Tetrahydrofuryl)-5-fluorouracil,1-(Tetrahydro-2-furanyl)-5-fluorouracil,5-Fluoro-1-(tetrahydro-2-furanyl)-2,4-pyrimidinedione,FT-207,FT207,Florafur,Fluorofur,Ftorafur,Futraful,N1-(2'-Tetrahydrofuryl)-5-fluorouracil,Sunfural S,Uftoral,Utefos,FT 207

D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000447	Aldehydes	Organic compounds containing a carbonyl group in the form -CHO.	Aldehyde
