Product Description

Cyclophosphamide, an immunosuppressant administered either orally or intravenously, is an antineoplastic prodrug metabolized by P450 enzymes to phosphoramide mustard and acrolein which in turn alkylate DNA and proteins, respectively [1]. It is widely used in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, lymphomas, and soft tissue and osteogenic sarcomas. [2]

Cyclophosphamide was shown to induce apoptosis in wt 9L gliosarcoma cells that did not express Bcl-2. Bcl-2 diminishes cyclophosphamide's cytotoxic activity, but not cytostatic activity. [1]
