環磷醯胺
環磷醯胺是一種強效的**抗腫瘤**和**免疫抑制**藥物,廣泛應用於犬貓的獸醫學中。 * **抗腫瘤用途**:用於淋巴瘤、白血病、癌和肉瘤的聯合化療方案。低劑量節拍式(連續)療法也可用於預防肉瘤復發。 * **免疫抑制用途**:用於嚴重的免疫介導疾病,如全身性紅斑狼瘡 (SLE)、免疫介導性血小板減少症 (ITP)、免疫介導性溶血性貧血 (IMHA) 和天皰瘡。
作用機制: Cyclophosphamide is a prodrug that is metabolized in the liver by **cytochrome P450** enzymes into active metabolites, primarily **phosphoramide mustard** and **acrolein**. **Phosphoramide mustard** → acts as an alkylating agent → forms cross-links within and between DNA strands → interferes with DNA replication and RNA transcription → triggers apoptosis and cell death. **Acrolein** is a toxic byproduct that concentrates in the urinary bladder and is responsible for sterile hemorrhagic cystitis. The drug also profoundly suppresses B-cell and T-cell function, leading to its immunosuppressive effects.

- Phenobarbital · May increase the rate of metabolism to active metabolites, increasing toxicity risk
- Thiazide Diuretics · May increase the myelosuppression caused by cyclophosphamide · major

過量
Limited information on acute overdoses. The lethal dose in dogs is reported as **40 mg/kg IV**. If an oral overdose occurs, perform gut emptying (emesis/lavage) if indicated and hospitalize the animal for aggressive supportive care, including IV fluids to flush the bladder and prevent hemorrhagic cystitis.
