DETAILS

Description (English)
Research Area: Cancer
Biological Activity:
Thiotepa(Thioplex) is an alkylating agent used to treat cancer.. It is an analogue of N,N’,N’’- triethylenephosphoramide (TEPA). This molecule features tetrahedral phosphorus and is structurally akin to phosphate. It is derived from aziridine and thiophosphoryl chloride. Thiotepa has been previously used in the palliation of a wide variety of neoplastic diseases. The more consistent results have been seen in: adenocarcinoma of the breast, adenocarcinoma of the ovary, superficial papillary carcinoma of the urinary bladder and for controlling intracavitary effusions secondary to diffuse or localized neoplastic diseases of various serosal cavities.
