Permeation of cyclophosphamide (NSC-26271) metabolites into tumor cells

U Draeger et al. Cancer Treat Rep. 1976 Apr.

Abstract

The permeation kinetics of cyclophosphamide and its metabolites were studied with Ehrlich ascites tumor cells, murine L1210 leukemia cells, and mouse L929 fibroblasts at 1 degrees C. In contrast to carboxyphosphamide and nor-nitrogen mustard, an equipartition of cyclophosphamide and 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide was observed in these cells. First experiments have been done to study the efflux of cyclophosphamide and 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide after incubation until saturation with Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. Cyclophosphamide could be washed out completely, whereas, 4-hydroperoxyclophosphamide shows an apparent retention in the cell at 37 degrees C.
