Description

Mustard Gas: Severe irritant and vesicant of skin, eyes, and lungs. It may cause blindness and lethal lung edema and was formerly used as a war gas. The substance has been proposed as a cytostatic and for treatment of psoriasis. It has been listed as a known carcinogen in the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP-85-002, 1985) (Merck, 11th ed). [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide : An ethyl sulfide that is diethyl sulfide in which a hydrogen from each of the terminal methyl groups is replaced by a chlorine. It is a powerful vesicant regulated under the Chemical Weapons Convention.

Toxicity

Sulphur mustard ('mustard gas') is a highly toxic chemical warfare agent which affects the skin and respiratory tract. Due to its toxic effects on the eyes, lungs, and skin, mustard gas remains a potential chemical threat to the present day.

Roles (3)

RoleDescription
alkylating agentHighly reactive chemical that introduces alkyl radicals into biologically active molecules and thereby prevents their proper functioning. It could be used as an antineoplastic agent, but it might be very toxic, with carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and immunosuppressant actions. It could also be used as a component of poison gases.
vesicantAny compound that causes severe skin, eye and mucosal pain and irritation.
carcinogenic agentA role played by a chemical compound which is known to induce a process of carcinogenesis by corrupting normal cellular pathways, leading to the acquistion of tumoral capabilities.

Drug Classes (2)

ClassDescription
organochlorine compoundAn organochlorine compound is a compound containing at least one carbon-chlorine bond.
ethyl sulfideAn aliphatic sulfide in which the sulfur atom is bonded to at least one ethyl group.
