A sensitive and accurate assay was developed and validated to determine BNP7787 (dimesna), a new protector against cisplatin-induced toxicities, and its metabolite mesna in plasma and urine of patients. Both analytes were measured as mesna in deproteinized plasma or in

BNP7787 is a new chemoprotective agent presently under clinical investigation to protect against cisplatin-induced toxicities, especially nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity. In the kidneys BNP7787 is postulated to undergo selective conversion into mesna, which can locally detoxify cisplatin. The reactivity of cisplatin

The mechanisms for cisplatin-induced renal cell injury have been the focus of intense investigation for many years with a view to provide a more effective and convenient form of nephroprotection. BNP7787 (disodium 2,2'-dithio-bis ethane sulfonate; dimesna, Tavocept), is a water-soluble
M Verschraagen et al.
British journal of cancer, 90(8), 1654-1659 (2004-04-15)
In preclinical studies, BNP7787 (disodium 2,2'-dithio-bis-ethane sulphonate), the disulphide form of mesna, has demonstrated selective protection against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity due to conversion into mesna inactivating toxic platinum species. Mesna (sodium 2-mercapto ethane sulphonate), however, can affect the antitumour activity of
Miranda Verschraagen et al.
Clinical pharmacology and therapeutics, 74(2), 157-169 (2003-08-02)
BNP7787 (disodium 2,2'-dithio-bis-ethane sulfonate) is currently undergoing development as a chemoprotective agent to prevent common and serious cisplatin-induced side effects. In the kidneys, intestine, and liver, BNP7787 is believed to undergo intracellular conversion into 2-mercaptoethane sulfonate (mesna), which can locally
