        abstract = {Among alkylating agents, nitrogen mustards are the most commonly utilized .Only five of the thousands of nitrogen mustards that has been created and tested are currently often utilized in cancer treatment -Melphalan, Cyclophosphamide, Ifosfamide, Chlorambucil and Mechlorethamine-the classic ‘nitogen mustards’-are among them. Every nitrogen mustard undergoes a reaction via an aziridinium intermediate, and the bis-chloroethyl group is the distinctive chemical component of nitrogen mustards. The rest of the molecule has an impact on the transport, distribution, and reactivity of the particular agents and is crucial in establishing the molecule’s physical characteristics.},
