Bendamustine is a medication used to treat certain types of cancer. It works by forming covalent bonds with DNA, creating crosslinks that disrupt the normal function of DNA and cells. This helps in slowing down the growth of cancer cells. However, it can also cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and low blood cell counts. Always consult a healthcare provider for proper use and management.

Bendamustine is a bifunctional mechlorethamine derivative containing a purine-like benzimidazole ring. Mechlorethamine and its derivatives form electrophilic alkyl groups. These groups form covalent bonds with electron-rich nucleophilic moieties, resulting in interstrand DNA crosslinks.
For a suspected overdose or poisoning, call 102 now and go to the nearest emergency hospital.
