Melflufen (Melphalan flufenamide) hydrochloride, a dipeptide proagent of Melphalan, is an alkylating agent. Melflufen hydrochloride shows antitumor activity against multiple myeloma (MM) cells and inhibits angiogenesis. Melflufen hydrochloride induces irreversible DNA damage and cytotoxicity in MM cells[1][2][3].
