Chlornaphazine
An obsolete alkylating agent and nitrogen mustard derivative that was used historically for the treatment of polycythemia vera and Hodgkin's disease. It was withdrawn from use due to a high incidence of bladder cancer associated with its metabolic conversion to aromatic amine carcinogens. It is an important example of a drug withdrawn due to its carcinogenic potential.
