Summary Aldophosphamide (NSC 254), a putative key metabolite of cyclophosphamide,
has now been isolated as a cyanohydrin derivative from an incubation mixture of
cyclophosphamide with mouse liver microsomes in vitro and from the plasma of a
cyclophosphamide-treated patient. The cyanohydrin has been shown to be identical with an
authentic synthetic sample by mass spectrometry and combined gas chromatography-mass
spectrometry.
