Atrimustine (INN ) (developmental code name KM-2210; former tentative brand name Kregan), also known as bestrabucil or busramustine, is a cytostatic antineoplastic agent which was under development in Japan by Kureha Chemicals (now Kureha Corporation) for the treatment of breast cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma as well as for the prevention of graft-versus-host disease in bone marrow transplant recipients.[1][2][3] It is the benzoate ester of an ester conjugate of estradiol and chlorambucil,[4] which results in targeted/site-directed cytostatic activity toward estrogen receptor-positive tissues such as breast and bone.[5][6] It reached preregistration for the treatment of cancer but was ultimately discontinued.[3] Estrogenicic side effects of atrimustine in clinical trials included vaginal bleeding and gynecomastia.[3] The drug was first patented in 1980.[1]
