NCIt definition : The hydrochloride salt of a modified glutathione analogue with potential antineoplastic
activity. Canfosfamide is selectively activated by glutathione S-transferase P1-1
into an alkylating metabolite that forms covalent linkages with nucleophilic centers
in tumor cell DNA, which may induce a cellular stress response and cytotoxicity, and
decrease tumor proliferation. S-transferase P1-1 is an enzyme that is overexpressed
in many human malignancies.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance that is being studied in the treatment of cancer. It belongs
to the family of drugs called glutathione analogs.;
