Testing the degradation effects of three reagents on various antineoplastic compounds

Conclusion Although three of four antineoplastic compounds were degraded successfully, any combinations of three reagents could not degrade cyclophosphamide completely. However, the addition of sodium thiosulfate which inhibits the corrosion of metal by sodium hypochlorite is essential for daily cleaning. Therefore, the evaluation of reaction time before the addition of sodium thiosulfate may be required. We will continue to investigate the reagents for degradation.
