cyclophosphorus amide: a double-edged sword for anti-cancer and immunotherapy treatment

In modern medicine, cyclophos-amide is a gill and complex pearl. It plays a vital role in the treatment of multiple diseases, especially cancer treatment and interventions for its own immune diseases.

cyclophosphorus amide is an alkyl-type anti-tumour drug. Its unique chemical structure enables it to perform a strong cancer resistance in the body. When cyclophosphate enters the human body, it is activated in the liver by cytochrome P450 enzymes and converted to active metabolites. These active metabolites can interact with DNA in tumor cells, disrupt the normal reproduction and transfer of DNA. Just like the “wieldning of life” for tumour cells, it effectively inhibits tumour cell proliferation and induces tumour cells to die. It has significant therapeutic effects on a variety of malignant tumours, such as lymphoma, leukemia and malignant tumours in the blood system such as multiple osteomenoma, as well as physical tumours such as breast cancer and ovarian cancer. In clinical treatment programmes, cyclophosphate is often used in conjunction with other chemotherapy drugs to combat tumours and improve treatment effectiveness through different mechanisms of action.

However, cyclophosphorus is a “cancer-resistant blade” of a double-sided nature. While it attacks tumour cells, it also causes some damage to normal tissue. Among them, the inhibition of bone marrow is more pronounced. The bone marrow is a “home” for blood stem cells, and cyclophosphate can affect the functioning of bone marrow stem cells, leading to a reduction in the number of white cells, red cells and slabs, thus reducing the immune capacity of patients and their vulnerability to infection, as well as a range of problems such as anaemia and haemorrhaging. In addition, cyclophosphate may have adverse effects on the reproductive system. In the case of male patients, this may result in a decrease in the number, quality or even infertility of sperm; in the case of female patients, it may result in ovarian functional impairment, menstruation, confinement, etc., and affect fertility. Long-term or large-scale use of cyclophosphate can also cause damage to the urology system, such as haemorrhagic bladderitis, because its metabolites can irritate the bladder mucous membranes.

In the area of self-immunological diseases, cyclophosphate is also widely used. For example, in cases of serious autoimmune diseases, such as systematic erythroacne and rheumatitis, cyclophospholamide can be mitigated by inhibiting excessive activity of the immune system when the disease is active and is not responding well to other routine treatments. However, it is equally necessary to weigh its advantages and disadvantages carefully and to follow closely the occurrence of adverse reactions.

cyclophosphate is a drug that has excellent therapeutic effects but is accompanied by high risk. When using it, doctors, like steel-wire artists, need to strike a precise balance between the therapeutic effects of drugs and the possible adverse effects, with maximum benefits and minimal harm to patients. For patients, understanding the properties of cyclophosphate also contributes to better alignment with treatment to meet the challenges of the disease.
