The widespread use of cyclophosphamide (CP) in medical treatment had caused ubiquitous contamination in the environment. To data, many studies have been carried out on the toxic effect of CP. However, among these toxic effects of CP, which are the most sensitive remains unclear. Present study aimed to investigate the toxicity of CP on mice and evaluate the sensitivity of physiological-biochemical parameters upon exposure of mice to CP. Results showed that as compared with the control group, CP caused significant reduction in body weight (p < 0.01), spleen coefficient (p < 0.01), leukocyte density (p < 0.01) and alanine transaminase (ALT) in kidney (p < 0.01); However superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), ALT in liver and creatinine (Cr) in kidney significantly (p < 0.05) increased. Among the suppressed physiological and biochemical parameters, the sensitivity to CP toxicity was generally ranked as body weight > leukocyte density > ALT in kidney > spleen coefficient; while among the stimulated parameters, the sensitivity was ranked as MDA (liver) > Cr (kidney) > ALT (liver). Overall, the most sensitive parameters to CP toxicity may be associated with growth, immune system and the normal function of liver and kidney.
