Application

Amifostine may provide renal protection during PRRT using somatostatin analogs by mitigating radiation damage and reducing the absorbed kidney radiation dose. Amifostine remediates the degenerative effects of radiation on the mineralization capacity of the murine mandible.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Radioprotective agent. Selectively protects normal tissues from the damaging effects of anti-neoplastic radiation therapy. Selectivity is due to preferential uptake by normal tissues and subsequent metabolic activation to 2-(3-aminopropyl)aminoethanethiol.

Since hyperglycemia is involved in the "aspirin resistance" occurring in diabetes, we aimed at evaluating whether high glucose interferes with the aspirin-induced inhibition of thromboxane synthesis and/or activation of the nitric oxide (NO)/cGMP/cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) pathway in platelets. For

Postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) provides major local control and survival benefits. More aggressive radiation therapy schemes may, however, be necessary in specific subgroups, provided they are safely administered. We report the tolerance and efficacy of a highly accelerated and hypofractionated

The aim of the study was to compare the protective efficacy of l-carnitine (LC) to amifostine on radiation-induced acute small intestine damage. Thirty, 4-week-old Wistar albino rats were randomly assigned to four groups - Group 1: control (CONT, n =

In a previous study, we found that amifostine provides some protection to the seminiferous epithelium of prepubertal doxorubicin-treated male rats but does not improve their fertility status as adults. Based on these results, a long-term study was undertaken to evaluate
C M Spencer et al.
Drugs, 50(6), 1001-1031 (1995-12-01)
Amifostine (WR-2721) was originally developed as a radioprotective agent. In animals, it protects normal tissues from the damaging effects of irradiation and, as shown in more recent studies, of several cytotoxic agents. Protection of tumours is generally reduced compared with
