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.
