Urinary cyclophosphamide assay as a method for biological monitoring of occupational exposure to cyclophosphamide. 1986

C T Evelo, and R P Bos, and J G Peters, and P T Henderson

Urine of twenty hospital workers was monitored for the excretion of the cytostatic drug cyclophosphamide using GC-MSD. The drug was found to be present above the detection limit of 0.5 microgram/24 h urine in five cases. A clear relationship between cyclophosphamide handling and the detectability of excretion existed. This method developed can be of use for biological monitoring studies directed toward the finding of exposure hazards.

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.
