They are most effective for treating slow-growing cancers such as leukemia and solid tumors, but are also used in the treatment of breast, lung, ovarian, and prostate cancers; lymphomas, myelomas, and sarcomas; and Hodgkin's …

https://callaix.com/types/alkylatingAlkylating agents are capable of forming from strong electrophiles usually via a carbonium ion or carbon radical. These electrophilic compounds naturally seek out nucleophilic atoms and functional groups to form their covalent bonds. Nucleophilic functional groups include phosphate, amino, sulfhydryl, carboxyl, and hydroxyl groups, among mothers.
