Application

Chloroacetaldehyde is a reagent used for converting adenine and its nucleoseides into fluorescent etheno derivatives which can be analysed by HPLC. It was used for derivatization in fluorometric determination of arprinocid and analogous compounds in human plasma .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Chloroacetaldehyde, a metabolite of ifosamide, influences oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria. It causes breaking of DNA strands and strongly inhibits DNA synthesis.

The Fanconi syndrome is a common side effect of the chemotherapeutic agent ifosfamide. Current evidences suggest that chloroacetaldehyde (CAA), one of the main metabolites of ifosfamide activation, contributes to its nephrotoxicity. However, the pathophysiology of CAA-induced Fanconi syndrome is not
