Cyclophosphamide and iphosphamide against Lewis lung carcinoma: evaluation of toxic and therapeutic effects

C Greco et al. Tumori. .

Abstract

In the present report, investigations have been carried out to evaluate toxic and therapeutic effects of cyclophosphamide vs its isomer iphosphamide. Cytostatic action of the 2 drugs was assayed on the murine Lewis lung carcinoma (3LL). It has been observed that iphosphamide is less toxic as compared to cyclophosphamide (LD50 IP LD50 CP = 1.5); on the other hand, to reach the same therapeutic effectiveness on 3LL, an iphosphamide dose 1.6 - 2 times higher than that of its parent compound is necessary.
