General Description

1,4-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1,4-dimethylpiperazinediium, also known as the drug DCMP, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C10H24Cl2N2. It is a bifunctional alkylating agent, meaning it has two reactive groups that can attach to and damage DNA in living cells. DCMP has been studied for its potential use as an anti-cancer agent due to its ability to inhibit tumor growth by interfering with cell division and inducing apoptosis. However, it also poses a significant risk of toxicity and side effects, and its use is highly regulated and limited to experimental settings. Research on this compound continues in the hope of finding a safe and effective treatment for cancer.
