Cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide are alkylating agent prodrugs that require activation by cytochrome P450 (CYP) to manifest their cancer chemotherapeutic activity. The present study investigates the activity of four individual human CYP2C enzymes and their allelic variants in cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide activation as an initial attempt to gain insight into the underlying basis for the large interpatient...
