Cross-linking of DNA in L1210 cells and nuclei treated with cyclophosphamide and phosphoramide mustard. 1978

Y A Surya, and J M Rosenfeld, and B L Hillcoat

Phosphoramide mustard, formed from cyclophosphamide in vivo and in vitro, may be the active metabolite of this drug. We have found phosphoramide mustard to be at least 100 times more potent than cyclophosphamide in inhibiting growth of two strains of the L1210 lymphoma in culture. Phosphoramide mustard also produced enlargement of cells, an effect not seen with cyclophosphamide. Phosphoramide mustard significantly increased the amount of cross-linked DNA after incubation with intact LM4 cells or nuclei isolated from these cells. Cyclophosphamide had a similar effect only in the isolated nuclei. These findings strengthen the proposed role of phosphoramide mustard as the active metabolite of cyclophosphamide. The effect of cyclophosphamide on nuclei is unexplained.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell

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.
