Cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent used in the treatment of certain cancers. Following absorption, cyclophosphamide is converted into 4-hydroxyphosphamide by a variety of cytochrome P450 isozymes in the liver. 4-Hydroxyphosphamide is more soluble than cyclophosphamide and is the primary form of the drug that is transported in blood. 4-Hydroxyphosphamide crosses the plasma membrane of the cancer cell and spontaneuosly forms aldophosphamide. This is a reversible reaction. Aldophosphamide can decompose into acrolein and phosphoramide mustard. Phosphoramide mustard is the active alkylating agent and forms alkyl adducts with DNA through a phosphoramide aziridinium intermediate. Alkylation of DNA causes DNA damage and eventually cell death.
