How to pronounce chlornaphazine


Chlornaphazine, a derivative of 2-naphthylamine, is a nitrogen mustard that was developed in the 1950s for the treatment of polycythemia and Hodgkin's disease. However, a high incidence of bladder cancers in patients receiving treatment with chlornaphthazine led to use of the drug being discontinued.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer has listed chlornaphazine as a human carcinogen.
