Popis: The direct detection and monitoring of anti-cancer drugs in vivo by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) may lead to improved anti-cancer strategies. 31P-MRS has been used to detect and quantify ifosfamide (IF) in vivo in GH3 prolactinomas and N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU)-induced mammary tumours in rats. The average concentration of IF in the GH3 prolactinoma over the first 2 h following a dose of 250 mg kg-1 i.v. was calculated to be 0.42 micromol g-1 wet weight, with a half-life of elimination (t1/2) of 2-4 h. Carbogen (95% oxygen/5% carbon dioxide) breathing increased the amount of IF taken up by the GH3 prolactinoma by 50% (P
