Description: | Cyclophosphamide is a synthetic alkylating agent chemically related to the nitrogen mustards with antineoplastic and immunosuppressive activities. |
In Vitro: | Cyclophosphamide induces outer membrane blebbing, leads to DNA fragmentation, as revealed by TUNEL staining of free 3'-OH DNA ends, and induces cleavage of the caspase 3 and caspase 7 substrate PARP in 9L/P450 cells. Bcl-2 expression fully blocks the activation of both initiator caspases as well as the effector caspase 3 in cells treated with activated Cyclophosphamide. Bcl-2 inhibits the cytotoxic effects but not the cytostatic effects of activated Cyclophosphamide[1]. Cyclophosphamide inhibits the AChE reversibly with an IC50 of 511 μM[2]. Carbon tetrachloride does not affect the direct cytotoxicity of cyclophosphamide or 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide to cells in culture[3]. |
