N-acetylmelphalan is a prodrug of melphalan, an alkylating agent used in the treatment of multiple myeloma. It is synthesized by acetylation of melphalan, which enhances its oral bioavailability. N-acetylmelphalan is converted to melphalan in the body, which then exerts its cytotoxic effects by alkylating DNA, thereby inhibiting cell division. Research on N-acetylmelphalan has focused on its potential to improve the efficacy and reduce the side effects of melphalan treatment. It is studied for its improved pharmacokinetic properties, which may translate to higher therapeutic efficacy and lower toxicity compared to melphalan.'
