title: Anodic oxidation of ifosfamide and cyclophosphamide: a biomimetic metabolism model of the oxazaphosphorinane anticancer drugs.
abstract: The electrochemical oxidation of anticancer drugs ifosfamide and cyclophosphamide produced in high yield methoxylated analogues of the key hydroxy-metabolites of these oxazaphosphorine prodrugs. The cytotoxicity of these compounds was evaluated, and found to be as high as the hydroxy-metabolite.
