Palifosfamide or ZIO-201 (isophosphoramide mustard; IPM), a bi-functional DNA alkylator, is the active metabolite of ifosfamide (IFOS). IFOS and the related drug cyclophosphamide (CPA) are widely used anti-cancer drugs. Both are pro-drugs and need to be metabolized to be active. Their clinical use is limited by the toxicity associated with some of their metabolites. Palifosfamide has shown efficacy in diverse cancer models. ZIOPHARM Oncology Inc, under license from Dekk-Tec Inc, was developing palifosfamide, a formulation of isophosphoramide mustard with tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane salt-stabilization (palifosfamide-tris) and previously with lysine-stabilization (palifosfamide-lys). Preclinical studies and phase I and I/II clinical trials demonstrated that palifosfamide-tris had an antitumor efficiency comparable or superior to that of ifosfamide. To date ZIO-201 is not present in ZIOPHARM pipeline.

Sample Use Guides

PICASSO III: A Phase III, Placebo-Controlled Study of Doxorubicin With or Without Palifosfamide in Patients With Metastatic Soft Tissue Sarcoma.Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive doxorubicin 75 mg/m2 intravenously day 1 plus palifosfamide 150 mg/m2/d intravenously days 1 to 3 or doxorubicin plus placebo once every 21 days for up to six cycles. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) by independent radiologic review.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
Palifosfamide lysine was cytotoxic against all the osteosarcome cell lines tested with the IC(50) ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 microg/ml except for OS222, which had an IC(50) of 7 microg/ml.
