Abstract
Hydrogenolysis of 3-(benzyloxy)cyclophosphamide (10) using Pd/C catalyst and ethyl acetate as solvent leads to the formation of 3-hydroxycyclophosphamide (3, approximately 20%) and cyclophosphamide (1, approximately 10%), accompanied by regioselective hydrogen-exchange reactions at the C-4 and C-5 positions in 3 and 1. A variety of oxidizing reagents and liver microsomal incubation failed to provide evidence (31P NMR) for conversion of 1 into 3, whereas identical incubation of 3 led to its reduction to 1. Compound 3 is stable at pH 6.5-8.2, 37 degrees C, and exhibits anticancer activity comparable to 1 when tested against L1210 leukemia in mice. Data are discussed with regard to a previously reported suggestion that metabolism of 1 may involved oxidation to give 3 followed by rearrangement of 3 to 2.
