Ifosfamide (IF) is a widely used antitumor prodrug. It is in the oxazaphosphorine class of alkylating agents, and it is effective against solid tumors. Ifosfamide mechanism of crosslinking DNA plays a major role in preventing cancer cells from proliferating. Ifosfamide is approved by FDA for the treatment of germ cell testicular cancer.

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.
