For third line chemotherapy of germ cell testicular cancer. It should ordinarily be used in combination with a prophylactic agent for hemorrhagic cystitis, such as mesna.
Ifosfamide_Sterile Pharmacology
Ifosfamide selectively inhibits the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The guanine and cytosine content correlates with the degree of ifosfamide-induced cross-linking. At high concentrations of the drug, cellular RNA and protein synthesis are also suppressed.
