Active ingredients

The drug IXOTEN contains one active pharmaceutical ingredient (API):

1 Trofosfamide
UNII H64JRU6GJ0 - TROFOSFAMIDE

Trofosfamide is a nitrogen mustard alkylating agent. Trofosfamide is an orally bioavailable oxazaphosphorine prodrug with antineoplastic activity. Trofosfamide (TFF) is metabolized predominantly to the cyclophosphamide analogue ifosfamide (IFO), which is then metabolized by liver cytochrome P450s to the active isophosphoramide mustard (IPM). IPM alkylates DNA to form DNA-DNA cross-links, which may result in inhibition of DNA, RNA and protein synthesis, and ultimately lead to tumor cell apoptosis.
