Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Cyclophosphamide is a cytotoxic agent in the treatment of certain neoplasms (include malignant lymphomas, leukemias, multiple myeloma, neuroblastoma, retinoblastoma, sarcomas and carcinomas of the ovary, testis, breast, and lung). Cyclophosphamide markedly boosts the cytotoxic activity of lymphocytes against cells from cultured B-leukemia 3163. Cyclophosphamide is effective in augmenting NK cell activity at concentrations ranging from 7.5 to 60 µg/mL. [1] Cyclophosphamide inhibits HEPM cell with an IC50 of 0.3 µM. [2] Cyclophosphamide causes concentration-related increases in sister chromatid exchange (SCE) up to 3 times control frequencies. Cyclophosphamide induces consistently 2.5 to 3.7 more SCEs in B-cells than in T-cells. In vivo, exposure to cyclophosphamide results in significant, dose-related increases in the SCE frequencies of mouse peripheral blood T- and B-lymphocytes. [3] Cyclophosphamide has been recognized as a prodrug which undergoes a complex metabolism in vivo. And 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide is the initial metabolite formed after administration of cyclophosphamide. 4-Hydroperoxycyclophosphamide inhibits MCF-7 and EMT6 cells with IC90 of 33 and 40 µM, respectively. [4]

Protocols

Cyclophosphamide is dissolved in distilled water and diluted to a concentration of 1 mg/mL with MEM before use. [1]
