- Certain compounds can penetrate the CNS (Central Nervous System) and inhibit replication of cancer cells.
Active Metabolites of Cyclophosphamide and Ifosfamide
- The active compounds of cyclophosphamide are aldophosphamide and phosphoramide mustard, which react with DNA to inhibit cancer cell growth.
- The active compounds of ifosfamide are aldophosphamide and isophosphoramide mustard, which also react with DNA to inhibit cancer cell growth.
