Description

General description

Bendamustine comprises 2-chloroethylamine alkylating group, a butyric acid side chain and a benzimidazole ring in its structure and is a nitrogen mustard. It is catabolized in the liver by the enzyme cytochrome P450 1A2 into γ hydroxyl-bendamustine and N-desmethyl-bendamustine.

Application

Bendamustine hydrochloride hydrate has been used as:

• a chemotherapy agent for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) samples to monitor spliced and unspliced gene expression
• an inhibitor to E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RNF3 (HOIP) in matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) assay
• a cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drug in high-throughput screening to test interaction with BAY87-2243

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bendamustine is a therapeutic agent employed in treating lymphomas and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. It may be useful in central nervous system (CNS) malignancies treatment regimen due to its penetration capacity into brain tissue. Bendamustine is a promising candidate for non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma therapies.

Bendamustine hydrochloride is a DNA-alkylator with a distinct pattern of activity. Bendamustine activates DNA-damage stress response and apoptosis; inhibits mitotic checkpoints; and induces mitotic catastrophe.
