Ifosfamide
Ifosfamide (CAS: 3778-73-2; Formula: C7H15Cl2N2O2P; MW: 261.09 g/mol) is a cytotoxic alkylating agent structurally related to cyclophosphamide. It functions as an antineoplastic drug, exerting its effects by alkylating DNA, thereby inhibiting DNA replication and transcription. Ifosfamide is primarily utilised in chemotherapy regimens for treating various forms of cancer, including testicular cancer and soft tissue sarcomas. It is supplied by Tech Serve Solutions for research and development purposes.
