Storage site should be as close as practicable to lab in which carcinogens are to be used, so that only small quantities required for expt need to be carried. Carcinogens should be kept in only one section of cupboard, an explosion proof refrigerator or freezer (depending on chemicophysical properties ) that bears appropriate label. An inventory should be kept, showing quantity of carcinogen & date it was acquired Facilities for dispensing should be contiguous to storage area.

Drug Function and Efficacy

This product has no anti-tumor activity in vitro. When it enters the body, it is first converted into aldophosphamide by microsomal functional oxidase in the liver. However, aldophosphamide is unstable and decomposes into phosphoramide nitrogen mustard and acrolein in tumor cells. Phosphoramide nitrogen mustard has cytotoxic effects on tumor cells. Cyclophosphamide is a bifunctional alkylating agent and a non-specific drug for the cell cycle. It can interfere with the functions of DNA and PNA, especially the former, as it cross-links with DNA.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
