Application

Chloroacetaldehyde is a reagent used for converting adenine and its nucleoseides into fluorescent etheno derivatives which can be analysed by HPLC. It was used for derivatization in fluorometric determination of arprinocid and analogous compounds in human plasma .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Chloroacetaldehyde, a metabolite of ifosamide, influences oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria. It causes breaking of DNA strands and strongly inhibits DNA synthesis.

The ifosfamide metabolite chloroacetaldehyde had been made responsible for side effects only. We found in previous studies a strong cytotoxicity on human MX-1 tumor cells and xenografts in nude mice. Chloroacetaldehyde is supposed to act via alkylation or by inhibition

Cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide are two commonly used DNA-alkylating agents in cancer chemotherapy that undergo biotransformation to several toxic and non-toxic metabolites, including acrolein and chloroacetaldehyde (CAA). Acrolein and CAA toxicities occur by several different mechanisms, including ROS formation and protein

Endogenous formation of the mutagenic DNA adduct 1,N(6)-ethenoadenine (epsilon A) originates from lipid peroxidation. Elevated levels of epsilon A in cancer-prone tissues suggest a role for this adduct in the development of some cancers. The base excision repair pathway has
