Interaction of cyclophosphamide and ketamine in vivo

Neuroimmunomodulation. 1996 Nov-Dec;3(6):333-5. doi: 10.1159/000097364.

Abstract

Cyclophosphamide 100 mg/kg i.p. increased the duration of ketamine-induced anesthesia in BALB/c mice by 39%. However, combined action of these two substances did not change the number of splenocytes, proliferation of T cells, or phagocytic activity of murine peritoneal macrophages against Candida albicans.
