Biochem/physiol Actions

Ifosfamide is a nitrogen mustard compound that is a structural isomer of cyclophosphamide. Ifosfamide is a prodrug that must be transformed by cytochrome P450 to the biologically active component. It is used as an antineoplastic agent in cancer chemotherapy, but ifosfamide is more likely to cause renal toxicity than cyclophosphamide.
