4-Hydroperoxycyclophosphamide (4-HC)

A metabolite of Cyclophosphamide. Antineoplastic; bone marrow purging agent. 4-Hydroperoxy cyclophosphamide is the active metabolite form of the prodrug Cyclophosphamide. 4-Hydroperoxy cyclophosphamide crosslinks DNA and induces T cell apoptosis independent of death receptor activation, but activates mitochondrial death pathways through production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). 4-Hydroperoxy cyclophosphamide has the potential for lymphomas and autoimmune disorders. Synonyms: 2-[Bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]tetrahydro-2-oxido-2H-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorin-4-yl Hydroperoxide; 4-Hydroperoxycyclofosfamide;...
