UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008558	Melphalan	An alkylating nitrogen mustard that is used as an antineoplastic in the form of the levo isomer - MELPHALAN, the racemic mixture - MERPHALAN, and the dextro isomer - MEDPHALAN; toxic to bone marrow, but little vesicant action; potential carcinogen.	Medphalan,Merphalan,Phenylalanine Mustard,Sarcolysine,Sarkolysin,4-(Bis(2-chloroethyl)amino)phenylalanine,Alkeran,L-PAM,Mustard, Phenylalanine
D009588	Nitrogen Mustard Compounds	A group of alkylating agents derived from mustard gas, with the sulfur replaced by nitrogen. They were formerly used as toxicants and vesicants, but now function as antineoplastic agents. These compounds are also powerful mutagens, teratogens, immunosuppressants, and carcinogens.	Compounds, Nitrogen Mustard,Mustard Compounds, Nitrogen
D009607	Nitrosourea Compounds	A class of compounds in which the core molecule is R-NO, where R is UREA.	Compounds, Nitrosourea
D002250	Carbon Radioisotopes	Unstable isotopes of carbon that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. C atoms with atomic weights 10, 11, and 14-16 are radioactive carbon isotopes.	Radioisotopes, Carbon
D002699	Chlorambucil	A nitrogen mustard alkylating agent used as antineoplastic for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, and others. Although it is less toxic than most other nitrogen mustards, it has been listed as a known carcinogen in the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985).

D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000477	Alkylating Agents	Highly reactive chemicals that introduce alkyl radicals into biologically active molecules and thereby prevent their proper functioning. Many are used as antineoplastic agents, but most are very toxic, with carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and immunosuppressant actions. They have also been used as components in poison gases.

D015057	1-Naphthylamine	A suspected industrial carcinogen (and listed as such by OSHA). Its N-hydroxy metabolite is strongly carcinogenic and mutagenic.	1-Aminonaphthalene,alpha-Naphthylamine,8-Aminonaphthalene,Naphthalidine,1 Aminonaphthalene,1 Naphthylamine,8 Aminonaphthalene,alpha Naphthylamine
