Comment: Cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent of the nitrogen mustard type. It is converted in vivo to the active metabolite 4-hydroxy cyclophosphamide by liver cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes. It is used mainly as a cancer chemotherapeutic. It can be used to treat autoimmune conditions, but as it has severe and life-threatening side-effects, other less toxic medications may be the preferred option following an acuteautoimmune crisis.
