Cyclophosphamide monohydrate appears as fine white crystalline powder with a slightly bitter taste. Little or no odor. (NTP, 1992) Cyclophosphamide hydrate is the monohydrate of cyclophosphamide. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, an immunosuppressive agent, an alkylating agent and a carcinogenic agent. It contains a cyclophosphamide. Cyclophosphamide is a synthetic alkylating agent chemically related to the nitrogen mustards with antineoplastic and immunosuppressive activities. In the liver, cyclophosphamide is converted to the active metabolites aldophosphamide and phosphoramide mustard, which bind to DNA, thereby inhibiting DNA replication and initiating cell death. Precursor of an alkylating nitrogen mustard antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent that must be activated in the LIVER to form the active aldophosphamide. It has been used in the treatment of LYMPHOMA and LEUKEMIA. Its side effect, ALOPECIA, has been used for defleecing sheep. Cyclophosphamide may also cause sterility, birth defects, mutations, and cancer.
