Indications
Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) is the most versatile and
useful of the nitrogen mustards. Preclinical testing
showed it to have a favorable therapeutic index and to
possess the broadest spectrum of antitumor activity of
all alkylating agents. As with the other nitrogen mustards,
cyclophosphamide administration results in the
formation of cross-links within DNA due to a reaction
of the two chloroethyl moieties of cyclophosphamide
with adjacent nucleotide bases. Cyclophosphamide
must be activated metabolically by microsomal enzymes
of the cytochrome P450 system before ionization
of the chloride atoms and formation of the cyclic
ethylenimmonium ion can occur. The metabolites
phosphoramide mustard and acrolein are thought to be
the ultimate active cytotoxic moiety derived from
cyclophosphamide.
Definition
ChEBI: Cyclophosphamide is a phosphorodiamide that is 1,3,2-oxazaphosphinan-2-amine 2-oxide substituted by two 2-chloroethyl groups at the amino nitrogen atom. It is an alkylating agent used in the treatment of several forms of cancer including leukemias, lymphomas and breast cancer.
Allgemeine Beschreibung
Cyclophosphamide is a fine white crystalline powder. Odorless with a slightly bitter taste. Melting point 41-45 °C. A 2% solution has pH of 4 to 6. Used medicinally as an antineoplastic agent.
Air & Water Reaktionen
Water soluble.
Reaktivität anzeigen
Cyclophosphamide is sensitive to exposure to light (darkens). Also sensitive to oxidation. Aqueous solutions may be kept for a few hours at room temperature, but hydrolysis occurs at temperatures above 86°F. Solutions in DMSO, 95% ethanol or acetone are stable for 24 hours under normal lab conditions. Incompatible with benzyl alcohol. Undergoes both acid and base hydrolysis at extreme pHs
Brandgefahr
Flash point data for Cyclophosphamide are not available; however, Cyclophosphamide is probably combustible.
Mechanism of action
Cyclophosphamide can be given orally, intramuscularly,
or intravenously. The plasma half-life of intact cyclophosphamide
is 6.5 hours.Only 10 to 15% of the circulating
parent drug is protein bound, whereas 50% of
the alkylating metabolites are bound to plasma proteins.
Since cyclophosphamide and its metabolites are
eliminated primarily by the kidneys, renal failure will
greatly prolong their retention.
Cyclophosphamide has a wide spectrum of antitumor
activity. In lymphomas, it is frequently used in combination
with vincristine and prednisone (CVP [or
COP] regimen) or as a substitute for mechlorethamine
in the MOPP regimen (C-MOPP). High dosages of intravenously
administered cyclophosphamide are often
curative in Burkitt’s lymphoma, a childhood malignancy
with a very fast growth rate.Oral daily dosages are useful
for less aggressive tumors, such as nodular lymphomas,
myeloma, and chronic leukemias.
Pharmakologie
Besides being used as an alkylating agent in cancer chemotherapy, cyclophosphamide is a
unique drug when used as an immunosuppressant. First, it is the most powerful of all such
drugs. Second, it kills proliferating cells, and evidently alkylates a certain region of remaining cells. Finally, its action on T-cells is such that despite its overall suppressive
effect, it can, in certain environments, suppress the response of these cells to antigens.
Cyclophosphamide is successfully used for bone transplants. In small doses, it is effective
for autoimmune disorders.
Pharmakokinetik
The drug is metabolized in the liver and is eliminated via the kidney, with approximately 15% of a given dose being excreted unchanged. Doses should be reduced in patients with levels of creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/min. Interestingly, hepatic dysfunction does not seem to alter metabolism of this drug, but caution should be exercised in patients with inhibited cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes or with a combination of factors that could negatively impact drug activation/inactivation pathways.
Clinical Use
Cyclophosphamide is a component of CMF (cyclophosphamide,
methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil) and
other drug combinations used in the treatment of breast
cancer. Cyclophosphamide in combination may produce
complete remissions in some patients with ovarian
cancer and oat cell (small cell) lung cancer. Other tumors
in which beneficial results have been reported include
non–oat cell lung cancers, various sarcomas, neuroblastoma,
and carcinomas of the testes, cervix, and
bladder. Cyclophosphamide also can be employed as an
alternative to azathioprine in suppressing immunological
rejection of transplant organs.
Nebenwirkungen
Chloroacetaldehyde toxicity is accompanied by glutathione depletion, indicating that, as expected, this electrophilic by-product alkylates Cys residues of critical cell proteins. Alkylation of Lys, adenosine, and cytidine residues also is possible. The CYP-generated carbinolamine undergoes nonenzymatic hydrolysis to provide the aldophosphamide either in the bloodstream or inside the cell. If this hydrolysis occurs extracellularly, the aldophosphamide is still able to penetrate cell membranes to reach the intracellular space. Once inside the cell, acrolein (a highly reactive α,β-unsaturated aldehyde) splits off, generating phosphoramide mustard. With a pKa of 4.75, the mustard will be persistently anionic at intracellular pH and trapped inside the cell.

mögliche Exposition
Exodan is used as an immunosuppressive agent in nonmalignant diseases; treatment of malignant
lymphoma, multiple meyloma; leukemias, and other malignant diseases. Exodan has been tested as an insect chemosterilant and for use in the chemical shearing of sheep.
Exodan is not produced in the United States.; manufactured
in Germany and imported into the United States since1959.
The FDA estimates that 200,000300,000 patients per year
are treated with exodan. It is administered orally and
through injection. The adult dosage is usually 15 mg/kg
of body weight daily or 1015 mg/kg administered intravenous every 710 days
Carcinogenicity
Cyclophosphamide is known to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in humans.
Stoffwechsel
The initial metabolic step is mediated primarily by CYP2B6 (and, to a much lower extent, by CYP3A4) and involves hydroxylation of the oxazaphosphorine ring to generate a carbinolamine. This hydroxylation reaction must occur before the molecule will be transported into cells. CYP3A4 (but not CYP2B6) also catalyzes an inactivating N-dechloroethylation reaction, which yields highly nephrotoxic and neurotoxic chloroacetaldehyde.
