The new potent antitumor agent, 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU), is most stable at pH 4. In acid and in solutions above pH 7, it decomposes rapidly. In plasma, BCNU has a half-life of 20 min. in vitro , and less than 15 min. in vivo . Its alkylating action is not caused by the slow hydrolysis of the chlorine. BCNU is 80 per cent bound to human plasma protein at 0°. When administered intravenously to the dog, it enters the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) readily and disappears speedily from the plasma and the CSF. The total amount of unchanged drug excreted in the urine in 4 hr. is less than 0.1 per cent of the dose. Heating at 43° for 5 hr. converts BCNU partly into 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)urea.
