Tallimustine

Identification

Summary

Tallimustine is an alkylating agent previously investigated for it's antitumor activity but was stopped due to severe myelotoxicity.

Generic Name
Tallimustine
DrugBank Accession Number
DB15466
Background

Tallimustine, a benzoyl mustard derivative of distamycin A, is an alkylating agent that binds to the minor groove of DNA.1,2 It's association with severe myelotoxicity lead to the end of its development in favour of α-halogenoacrylamide derivatives such as brostallicin, which have a favourable cytotoxicity/myelotoxicity ratio.2,3 Newer generations of DNA minor groove binding agents can more specifically recognize base pair sequences.5

Mechanism of action

Tallimustine binds to the minor groove of DNA while avoiding targets like glutathione.2 Currently, the mechanism of DNA minor groove binding agents is poorly understood.4 Though, they may act by directly inhibiting the interaction of protein and DNA.4

DNA is the molecule of heredity, as it is responsible for the genetic propagation of most inherited traits. It is a polynucleic acid that carries genetic information on cell growth, division, and function. DNA consists of two long strands of nucleotides twisted into a double helix and held together by hydrogen bonds. The sequence of nucleotides determines hereditary characteristics. Each strand serves as the template for subsequent DNA replication and as a template for mRNA production, leading to protein synthesis via ribosomes.
