Effect of centrophenoxine on cyclophosphamide concentration in blood. 1976

F Kanzawa, and A Hoshi, and K Kuretani

In order to clarify the mechanism of potentiation of cyclophosphamide activity by centrophenoxine, blood concentration of total and activated cyclophosphamide was examined. Blood concentration of cyclophosphamide increased by the compound and biological half-life of activated cyclophosphamide was markedly increased to 30 min from 18 min in intraperitoneal administration. At the same time, concentration of active form in ascites fluid was also increased and biological half-life of the active form was increased to 50 min from 18 min. Similar increase in blood level of active form was also shown by p-chlorophenoxyacetic acid and probenecid, but concentrations at early stages after injection was not increased. As a result, potentiation of cyclophosphamide activity by centrophenoxine was found to be due to maintenance of active form in both blood and ascites fluid at higher levels than those in the control.

D011339 Probenecid The prototypical uricosuric agent. It inhibits the renal excretion of organic anions and reduces tubular reabsorption of urate. Probenecid has also been used to treat patients with renal impairment, and, because it reduces the renal tubular excretion of other drugs, has been used as an adjunct to antibacterial therapy.

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.
