There is one exact (name or code) match for ifosfamide

 
Status:
First approved in 1987

Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (RACEMIC)

Targets:


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.

Mesna is an organosulfur compound used as an adjuvant in cancer chemotherapy involving cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide. No clinical drug interaction studies have been conducted with mesna. Mesna concentrates in the bladder where acrolein accumulates after administration of chemotherapy and through a Michael addition, forms a conjugate with acrolein and other urotoxic metabolites. This conjugation reaction inactivates the urotoxic compounds to harmless metabolites. The most common adverse reactions (> 10%) when MESNEX is given with ifosfamide are nausea, vomiting, constipation, leukopenia, fatigue, fever, anorexia, thrombocytopenia, anemia, granulocytopenia, diarrhea, asthenia, abdominal pain, headache, alopecia, and somnolence.
Methylene blue, also known as methylthioninium chloride, is a medication from WHO's list of essential medicines. Upon administration, methylene blue is converted to leukomethylene blue by erythrocyte methemoblobin reductase in the presence of NADPH. Leukomethylene blue than reduces methemoglobin to oxyhemoglobin, thus restoring oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. Methylene blue is also used as a dye for various diagnostic procedures, for treatment of ifosfamide toxicity and for in vitro staining. Historically, it was used as a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy for topical treatment of dermatologic or mucocutaneous infections, as an antidote for cyanide poisoning, but these applications are no longer approved. Methylene blue is investigated in clinical trials for treatment of septic shock and Alzheimer's disease.

Targets:


Palifosfamide or ZIO-201 (isophosphoramide mustard; IPM), a bi-functional DNA alkylator, is the active metabolite of ifosfamide (IFOS). IFOS and the related drug cyclophosphamide (CPA) are widely used anti-cancer drugs. Both are pro-drugs and need to be metabolized to be active. Their clinical use is limited by the toxicity associated with some of their metabolites. Palifosfamide has shown efficacy in diverse cancer models. ZIOPHARM Oncology Inc, under license from Dekk-Tec Inc, was developing palifosfamide, a formulation of isophosphoramide mustard with tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane salt-stabilization (palifosfamide-tris) and previously with lysine-stabilization (palifosfamide-lys). Preclinical studies and phase I and I/II clinical trials demonstrated that palifosfamide-tris had an antitumor efficiency comparable or superior to that of ifosfamide. To date ZIO-201 is not present in ZIOPHARM pipeline.
