Pipobroman is a bromide derivative of piperazine and acts as an alkylating agent. Pipobroman plays its role by inhibiting DNA and RNA polymerase or by reducing pyrimidine nucleotide incorporation into DNA. Pipobroman can be used for the cancer research, including polycythemia vera, myeloproliferative neoplasm, and AML et.al.

Pipobroman is an anti-cancer drug that probably acts as an alkylating agent. Target: Pipobroman is a neutral amide of piperazine with a chemical structure close to that of alkylating agents. Pipobroman has well documented clinical activity in polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET). Pipobroman allows, within 3 months, to attain a response in more than 90% of patients, without clinically relevant toxicities. The 10-years risk of thrombosis of patients treated with Pipobroman is about 15%, The anti-proliferative activity of Pipobroman on bone marrow megakaryocytes seems of particular value in lowering the occurrence of post-PV and post-ET MMM, whose risk (< 4% at 10 years) is the lowest registered with available treatments. The 10-year risk of acute leukemia with Pipobroman is 5% in PVand 3% in ET, which is only slightly higher than that expected as a natural evolution of the disease. In conclusion, the use of Pipobroman is a definite alternative to hydroxyurea in patients with PV and ET at high risk of thrombosis.
