The clinical spectrum of activity for cyclophosphamide is very broad. It is an essential component of many effective drug combinations for non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Complete remissions & presumed cures have been reported when cyclophosphamide was given as a single agent for Burkitt's lymphoma. It is frequently used in combination with methotrexate (or doxorubicin) & fluorouracil as adjuvant therapy after surgery for carcinoma of the breast. Notable advantages of this drug are the availability of the oral route of admin & the possibility of giving fractionated doses over prolonged periods. For these reasons it possesses a versatility of action that allows an intermediate range of use, between that of the highly reactive iv mechlorethamine & that of oral chlorambucil. Beneficial results have been obtained in multiple myeloma; chronic lymphocytic leukemia; carcinomas of the lung, breast, cervix, & ovary; & neuroblastoma, retinoblastoma, & other neoplasms of childhood. Because of its potent immunosuppressive properties, cyclophosphamide has received considerable attention for the control of organ refection after transplantation & in nonneoplastic disorders associated with altered immune reactivity, including Wegener's granulomatosis, rheumatoid arthritis, & the nephrotic syndrome in children.

Furosemide may improve, renal blood flow, decrease resorption of sodium and chloride, and increase free water excretion. The initial dose of furosemide is 2 mg/kg, IV. This dosage can be doubled or tripled if urine output does not increase within 1 hr. However, if there is no response to 6 mg/kg, another approach should be tried. If effective, furosemide can be given parenterally at 2 mg/kg, tid., to maintain a diuresis.

Appropriate caution is advised when the drug is considered for use in ... /nonneoplastic/ conditions, not only because of its acute toxic effects but also because of its high potential for inducing sterility, teratogenic effects, & leukemia. ... Administration of the drug should be interrupted at the first indication of dysuria or hematuria. The syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) has been observed in patients receiving cyclophosphamide, usually at doses higher than 50 mg/kg. It is important to be aware of the possibility of water intoxication, since these patients are usually vigorously hydrated.

Cyclophosphamide is indicated for the treatment of malignant lymphomas, multiple myeloma, leukemias, mycosis fungoides (advanced disease), neuroblastoma (disseminated disease), adenocarcinoma of the ovary, retinoblastoma, and carcinoma of the breast. It is also indicated for the treatment of biopsy-proven minimal change nephrotic syndrome in pediatric patients.
Treatment of malignant diseases
Treatment of all malignant neoplasms
Cyclophosphamide is an antineoplastic in the class of alkylating agents and is used to treat various forms of cancer. Alkylating agents are so named because of their ability to add alkyl groups to many electronegative groups under conditions present in cells. They stop tumor growth by cross-linking guanine bases in DNA double-helix strands - directly attacking DNA. This makes the strands unable to uncoil and separate. As this is necessary in DNA replication, the cells can no longer divide. In addition, these drugs add methyl or other alkyl groups onto molecules where they do not belong which in turn inhibits their correct utilization by base pairing and causes a miscoding of DNA. Alkylating agents are cell cycle-nonspecific. Alkylating agents work by three different mechanisms all of which achieve the same end result - disruption of DNA function and cell death.
Antineoplastic Agents, Alkylating
A class of drugs that differs from other alkylating agents used clinically in that they are monofunctional and thus unable to cross-link cellular macromolecules. Among their common properties are a requirement for metabolic activation to intermediates with antitumor efficacy and the presence in their chemical structures of N-methyl groups, that after metabolism, can covalently modify cellular DNA. The precise mechanisms by which each of these drugs acts to kill tumor cells are not completely understood. (From AMA, Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p2026) (See all compounds classified as Antineoplastic Agents, Alkylating.)
Myeloablative Agonists
Agents that destroy bone marrow activity. They are used to prepare patients for BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION or STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION. (See all compounds classified as Myeloablative Agonists.)
Antirheumatic Agents
Drugs that are used to treat RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS. (See all compounds classified as Antirheumatic Agents.)
Immunosuppressive Agents
Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging. (See all compounds classified as Immunosuppressive Agents.)
Mutagens
Chemical agents that increase the rate of genetic mutation by interfering with the function of nucleic acids. A clastogen is a specific mutagen that causes breaks in chromosomes. (See all compounds classified as Mutagens.)

PLACENTAL TRANSFER OF (14)CARBON-CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED IN MICE; AND A POSITIVE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE ALKYLATION OF EMBRYONIC DNA AND PRODUCTION OF CONGENITAL ABNORMALITIES IN MICE HAS BEEN REPORTED. A SIMILAR CORRELATION HAS BEEN FOUND FOR NUCLEAR-DNA-DEPENDENT RNA POLYMERASES IN RAT EMBRYOS. IN MOST SPECIES, CYCLOSPHSPHAMIDE IS RAPIDLY ABSORBED, METABOLIZED AND EXCRETED. IN RATS, THE SPECIFIC ACTIVITY IN TISSUES IS HIGHEST WITHIN 20-30 MIN FOLLOWING IP INJECTION; UP TO 75% OF THE RADIOACTIVITY IS EXCRETED WITHIN 5-8 HR. /MONOHYDRATE/

In a cross sectional study, the urine of 20 hospital workers occupationally exposed to cyclophosphamide and 21 unexposed controls was monitored for excretion of cyclophosphamide. During the week in which samples were collected, most of the workers handled cyclophosphamide fewer than 5 times and the amount handled each time ranged from 100-1000 mg (mean + or - 350 mg). All workers claimed to have taken regular safety precautions; ie, at least wearing gloves during handling. The drug was identified in 5 cases (range: 0.7-2.5 ug cyclophosphamide excreted/24 hr urine). A clear relationship between cyclophosphamide handling and urinary detection was shown. 4 of 5 persons with detectable urinary cyclophosphamide had handled cyclophosphamide 10 times or more during the week.

Metabolism and activation occurs at the liver. 75% of the drug is activated by cytochrome P450 isoforms, CYP2A6, 2B6, 3A4, 3A5, 2C9, 2C18, and 2C19. The CYP2B6 isoform is the enzyme with the highest 4-hydroxylase activity. Cyclophosphamide undergoes activation to eventually form active metabolites, phosphoramide mustard and acrolein. Cyclophosphamide appears to induce its own metabolism which results in an overall increase in clearance, increased formation of 4-hydroxyl metabolites, and shortened t1/2 values following repeated administration.
... /Cyclophosphamide/ is activated by the hepatic cytochrome P450 system. Cyclophosphamide is first converted to 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide, which is in a steady state with the acyclic tautomer aldophosphamide. In vitro studies with human liver microsones & cloned P450 isoenzymes have shown that cyclophosphamide is activated by the CYP2B group of P450 isoenzymes... . 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide may be oxidized further by aldehyde oxidase either in liver or in tumor tissue & perhaps by other enzymes, yielding the metabolites carboxyphosphamide & 4-ketocyclophsphamide, neither of which possesses significant biological activity. It appears that hepatic damage is minimized by theses secondary reactions, whereas significantl amoutns of the active metabolies, such as 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide & its tautomer, aldophosphamed, are transported to the target sites by the circulatory system. In tumor cells, the aldophosphamide cleaves spontaneously, generating stoichiometric amounts of phosphoramide mustard & acrolein. The former is believed to be responsible for antitumor effects. The latter cmpd may be responsible for the hemorrhagic cystitis seen during therapy with cyclophosphamide. Cystitis can be reduced in intensity or prevented by the pareneteral admin of mesna, a sulfhydryl cmpd that reacts readily with acrolein in the acid environment of the urinary tract. ... Urinary & fecal recovery of unchanged cyclophosphamide is minimal after iv admin. Maximal concns in plasma are achieved 1 hr after oral admin, & the half-life in plasma is about 7 hr.

A REACTIVE METABOLITE, N,N-BIS-(2-CHLOROETHYL)PHOSPHORODIAMIDIC ACID, WHICH POSSESSES POTENT ALKYLATING & CYTOTOXIC PROPERTIES, HAS RECENTLY BEEN ISOLATED FROM THE OXYGENATION PRODUCTS OF CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE AND MOUSE LIVER MICROCHROMOSOMES.

Cyclophosphamide is well absorbed orally, and peak plasma levels appear about one hour after oral use. It is also administered intravenously. This drug is metabolized in the liver to the cytotoxic metabolite, 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide, which is in equilibrium with the acyclic tautomer, aldophosphamide. Although the major fraction of these metabolites is oxidized further to inactive products, some aldophosphamide is converted to phophoramidemustard, which alkylates DNA, and to acrolein.

Alkylating agents work by three different mechanisms: 1) attachment of alkyl groups to DNA bases, resulting in the DNA being fragmented by repair enzymes in their attempts to replace the alkylated bases, preventing DNA synthesis and RNA transcription from the affected DNA, 2) DNA damage via the formation of cross-links (bonds between atoms in the DNA) which prevents DNA from being separated for synthesis or transcription, and 3) the induction of mispairing of the nucleotides leading to mutations.
The chemotherapeutic alkylating agents have in common the property of becoming strong electrophiles through the formation of carbonium ion intermediates or of transition complexes with the target molecules. These reactions result in the formation of covalent linkages by alkylation of various nucleophilic moieties such as phosphate, amino, sulfhydryl, hydroxyl, carboxyl, & imidazole groups. The chemotherapeutic & cytotoxic effects are directly related to the alkylation of DNA. The 7 nitrogen atom of guanine is particularly susceptible to the formation of a covalent bond with bifunctional alkylating agents & may well represent the key target that determines their biological effects. It must be appreciated, however, that other atoms in the purine & pyrimidine bases of DNA- particularly, the 1 & 3 nitrogens of adenine, the 3 nitrogen of cytosine, & the 6 oxygen of guanine- also may be alkylated, as will be the phosphate atoms of the DNA chains & amino & sulfhydryl groups of proteins. /Alkylating agents/

Cyclophosphamide can be used to cause immunologically mediated regression of the immunogenic, cyclophosphamide-resistant L5178Y lymphoma in syngeneic and semisyngeneic mice (B6D2F1 (C57BL/6 x DBA/2) females). In order to cause tumor regression it was necessary to give cyclophosphamide (125-200 mg/kg of body wt, iv shortly before or shortly after tumor implantation. Regardless of whether cyclophosphamide was given before or after tumor implantation, tumor regression was associated with the presence in the spleen of an incr number of Lyt-2+ T-cells capable of passively transferring immunity to tumor bearing recipients. This augmented level of immunity was sustained throughout the period of tumor regression. In contrast, a lower level of concomitant immunity generated by control tumor bearers decayed after day 12 of tumor growth. Because the therapeutic effect of cyclophosphamide could be inhibited by passive transfer of L3T4+ T-cells from normal donor mice it is apparent that the therapeutic effect of cyclophosphamide is based on its ability to preferentially destroy L3T4+ suppressor T-cells. These putative precursor suppressor T-cells were regenerated 4 days after being destroyed by cyclophosphamide.

These studies enable the pattern of emesis and nausea for 3 days following high-dose cyclophosphamide to be described and give some insight into the mechanisms of emesis which may be operating. Nausea and vomiting induced by cyclophosphamide-based chemotherapy has long latency of onset (8-13 hr) and continues for at least 3 days. These findings are of particular importance as many of these patients receive chemotherapy as outpatients and emphasize the need for appropriate anti-emetic prophylaxis for patients at home. Ondansetron was extremely effective over this time in the control of emesis and nausea. These results suggest that high-dose cyclophosphamide-induced emesis over days 1-3 is largely mediated via 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and 5-HT3 receptors.

The most likely mechanism by which cyclophosphamide augments immune responses relates to preferential elimination of suppressor and relative sparing of effector and helper cells. Thus, precursors and mature murine suppressor cells are very sensitive to cyclophosphamide whereas the mature effector cells are relatively insensitive ... . Cyclophosphamide induced immunological regression of murine leukemia is reversed by the infusion of normal spleen cells as a source of precursors of suppressor cells ... . Memory and helper T cells are relatively resistant to the cytotoxic effect of cyclophosphamide ... . NK activity against YAC lymphoma targets by non T and non B cells is depressed by cyclophosphamide ... .
