Modulation of glutathione depletion and lipid peroxidation by WR-77913 an 2-mercaptopropionylglycine in cyclophosphamide chemotherapy. 1994

Department of Radiobiology, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, India.

Cyclophosphamide induced a depletion in liver glutathione (GSH) and high rate of lipid peroxidation. GSH depletion was evident from 20 min onwards and the maximum depletion was observed at 3 hr post treatment. Lipid peroxidation was significant only after the maximum depletion of GSH. Pretreatment with either MPG or WR-77913 individually, or in combination could prevent the depletion of GSH and induction of lipid peroxidation after cyclophosphamide treatment.

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.
