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.

Adjuvant radiotherapy in the management of head and neck cancer remains severely debilitating. Fortunately, newly developed agents aimed at decreasing radiation-induced damage have shown great promise. Amifostine (AMF) is a compound, which confers radio-protection to the exposed normal tissues, such

Amifostine (US Bioscience, West Conshohocken, PA; Ethyol, WR-2721), a phosphorylated thiol developed by the United States Army as a protective agent for military personnel in the event of nuclear warfare, has shown protection of normal tissues from the cytotoxic effects

The authors previously established an animal model of radiation-induced craniofacial bone growth inhibition and demonstrated the effectiveness of cytoprotection in preserving growth using amifostine, but the mechanism is unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the acute and

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

Radiotherapy, a cornerstone of head and neck cancer treatment, causes substantial morbidity to normal adjoining bone. The authors assessed the radioprotective effect of amifostine therapy on the mineralization of the mandible using micro-computed tomography. They hypothesized that amifostine would safeguard
