## Background: Intravenous pulse administration of cyclophosphamide (cyc) has been successfully used for the treatment of various autoimmune diseases. these patients often present with impaired renal function or even end-stage renal failure. nevertheless, data concerning pharmacokinetics of cyc in
The complete pharmacokinetics (PK) of (R)-and (S)-cyclophosphamide (CP) and their dechloroethylated (DCE) metabolites have not been reported to date. We collected plasma and urine samples from 12 cancer patients and determined concentrations of both enantiomers of CP and DCE-CP using a chiral GC-MS
The in vivo activation of cyclophosphamide (Endoxan) to cytostatic and alkylating metabolites has been studied. Endoxan is metabolized to the weak anion by microsomal dealkylation in the rat's liver; this product is the first alkylating metabolite. About 80% of the alkylating activity of the serum,
