    Product Description

    Phosphoramide mustard is an alkylating agent and active metabolite of cyclophosphamide (Item No. 13849).1 It is formed from cyclophosphamide via the ring-opened tautomer of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform-formed intermediate 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide.2 Phosphoramide mustard induces DNA crosslinking, alkylates guanine in DNA, and increases the production of covalent DNA-protein conjugates in, and is cytotoxic to, HT-1080 human fibrosarcoma cells in a concentration-dependent manner. It is toxic to adult mice and teratogenic to embryos when administered to pregnant dams at a dose of 154 mg/kg on day 11 of gestation.3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
