Alkyl Sulfonates

Alkyl sulfonates are a subclass of bifunctional alkylating antineoplastic agents characterized by sulfonic acid ester groups

Alkyl sulfonates are a subclass of bifunctional alkylating antineoplastic agents characterized by sulfonic acid ester groups These agents exert cytotoxicity by transferring alkyl groups to cellular nucleophiles, particularly forming covalent intra- and inter-strand cross-links with DNA that disrupt replication and transcription, ultimately triggering apoptosis in rapidly proliferating cells

Because they exhibit pronounced selectivity for hematopoietic stem cells and early myeloid precursors, alkyl sulfonates—exemplified by busulfan—are primarily indicated in hematology and oncology
