A synthetic analogue of the nitrogen mustard cyclophosphamide with antineoplastic activity. Ifosfamide alkylates and forms DNA crosslinks, thereby preventing DNA strand separation and DNA replication. This agent is a prodrug that must be activated through hydroxylation by hepatic microsomal enzymes. Check for \'https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/clinical-trials/intervention/C564\' active clinical trials using this agent.
