Disodium 2,2'-dithio-bis-ethane sulfonate (BNP7787) is under investigation as a potential new chemoprotector against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. The selective protection of BNP7787 appears to arise from the preferential uptake of the drug in the kidneys, where BNP7787 would undergo intracellular conversion into

BNP7787 (disodium 2,2'-dithio-bis-ethane sulphonate; Tavocept) is a novel agent developed to protect against cisplatin (cis-diammine-dichloroplatinum(II))-associated chronic toxicities. In this study, we determined the recommended dose of BNP7787 when preceding a fixed dose of cisplatin, the pharmacokinetics (PKs) and the possible

BNP7787 (disodium 2,2'-dithio-bis ethane sulfonate; Tavocept) is a novel water-soluble investigational agent that is undergoing clinical development for prevention and mitigation of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. BNP7787 is a disulfide that undergoes thiol-disulfide exchange reactions in vivo with physiological thiols. Mesna-disulfide heteroconjugates
