HIDE SMILES / InChI
Glufosamide (glucosylifosfamide mustars) consists of iphosphoramide mustard conjugated to glucose, and is an alkylating agent (affecting the ability of the cancer cell to multiply by causing breakage of the DNA strands). Glufosamide is considered a targeted chemotherapy with fewer side effects than alternative chemotherapies. Its specific mode of action on normal and pathological cells is still under investigation. Glufosamide was studied for use in several cancers, like pancreatic and prostate cancer, and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Multipe clinical trials have been completed or are still ongoing. Most promising results were found when glufosamide was used in combination treatments, rather than alone.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Ifosfamide crosses the blood-brain barrier and may cause encephalopathy.

Approved Use

Ifosfamide injection, used in combination with certain other approved antineoplastic agents, is indicated for third line chemotherapy of germ cell testicular cancer. It should be used in combination with a prophylactic agent for hemorrhagic cystitis, such as mesna.
