Outline of Final Research Achievements

Administration of cyclophosphamide (CY) increased the acrolein-lysine adducts in mice plasma. Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1) in mice white blood cells were activated by N-acetylcysteine (NAC). And under the active ALDH1, CY was metabolized to carboxyethylphosphoramide mustard, which is noncytotoxic metabolite of CY. Furthermore, vacuole degeneration or eosinophilic generation in the hearts and livers in mice were suppressed by NAC treatment.
In these results indicate that the concentration of acrolein in the blood after administration of CY and ALDH1 activity are important factor on CY-induced cardiotoxicity. Therefore, these factors may contribute to prevent the CY-induced cardiotoxicity.
