Abstract

The selectivity of a capillary gas chromatographic assay for the anti-neoplastic and immunosuppressive agent cyclophosphamide (CPA) towards one of its naturally occurring metabolites, i.e. 4-ketocyclophosphamide (4-keto CPA), has been studied. Mass spectrometry studies showed that a cyclization product of 4-keto-CPA can form using the same chromatographic conditions as those under which CPA was determined. However, the amount produced is relatively small (less than 10%) compared with the percentage produced from CPA. Furthermore, both cyclization products, formed by loss of HCI and intraalkylation of the parent compounds, can be separated well under suitable chromatographic conditions.
