A reliable and easy to use liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneous quantification of urinary concentrations of cyclophosphamide (CP) and its main metabolites excreted in urine, i.e. N-dechloroethylcyclophosphamide (DCL-CP), 4-ketocyclophosphamide (4KetoCP), and carboxyphosphamide (CarboxyCP). Sample preparation consisted of dilution of urine with an aqueous solution of the internal standard D(4)-CP and methanol, and centrifugation. LC/MS/MS detection was performed using a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer working in selected reaction monitoring mode. All analytes were quantified in a single run within 11.5 min. The limits of detection were 5 ng/mL for CP and 4KetoCP, 1 ng/mL for DCL-CP, and 30 ng/mL for CarboxyCP. Quantification ranges were adjusted to the expected concentrations in 24-h urine collections of patients treated with a polychemotherapy regimen (3-175 microg/mL for CP, 0.5-27 microg/mL for 4KetoCP and 0.17-9 microg/mL for CarboxyCP and DCL-CP, respectively). The method was validated according to international guidelines of the ICH and the FDA.

D003520 Cyclophosphamide 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.
