Nitrosoureas are a distinct class of lipophilic alkylating antineoplastic agents that exert cytotoxic effects by alkylating and cross-linking DNA, thereby inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis and cell division.
Due to their marked lipid solubility, agents such as carmustine and lomustine readily cross the blood-brain barrier, making them clinically important therapies for central nervous system malignancies, including high-grade gliomas and brain metastases.
They are also utilized, often in combination regimens, to treat lymphomas, multiple myeloma, and, in the case of streptozocin, pancreatic neuroendocrine islet cell tumors.
