PURPOSE Amifostine is a highly efficacious cytoprotectant when administered in vivo at high doses. However, at elevated doses, drug toxicity manifests for general, non-clinical radioprotective purposes. Various strategies have been developed to avoid toxic side-effects: The simplest is reducing the dose. In terms of protecting hematopoietic tissues, where does this effective, non-toxic minimum ...
We evaluated the influence of amifostine used alone or in combination with 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine (2-CdA) on the colony growth of normal and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells (CFU-GM) in semisolid culture in vitro. Amifostine at a concentration of 1 mg/ml was either added directly to the culture medium of normal and CML CFU-GM, or mononuclear cells (MNCs) we...
The present study was aimed at investigating the effect of amifostine on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury of mice and H9c2 cells cultured with TBHP (tert-butyl hydroperoxide). The results showed that pretreatment with amifostine significantly attenuated cell apoptosis and death, accompanied by decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and lower mitochondrial potential (ΔΨm)...
Curative radiation therapy of pelvic malignancies, frequently results in dose limiting toxicities such as serous, mucoid, or more rarely, bloody diarrhea. Several studies have evaluated the cytoprotective effects of amifostine in preventing rectal mucositis associated with radiation treatment. We searched Medline for published comparative studies that evaluated the use of amifostine to reduce r...
OBJECTIVES Radioiodine (RI) therapy is known to subject cellular components of salivary glands (SG) to oxidative stress leading to SG dysfunction. However, the protective effects of antioxidants on RI-induced SG damage have not been well investigated. The authors investigated the morphometric and functional effects of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) administered prior to RI therapy and compar...
background: a radioprotective effect of amifostine as well as its ability to modulate the level of spontaneous and gamma-irradiation-induced genetic changes on human peripheral blood lymphocytes has been investigated . amifostine, known as a potent radical scavenger, has been introduced as the most effective radioprotector, yet it is not completely approved for the clinical use. however, furthe...
Effect of amifostine, a radiation-protecting drug, on muscle tissue partial pressure of oxygen was investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging. When amifostine was administered intraperitoneally or intravenously to mice, the linewidth of the electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of the lithium octa-n-butoxy-substituted naphthalocyanine implanted in the mouse leg m...
The aminothiol, amifostine (Ethyol; U.S. Bioscience, West Conshohocken, PA), is a cytoprotective agent that ameliorates the toxicities of anticancer therapy. In vitro, amifostine promotes the formation and survival of primitive hematopoietic progenitors derived from myelodysplastic bone marrow (BM) specimens. To evaluate the hematological effects of amifostine, 18 patients with myelodysplastic ...
BACKGROUND Radiotherapy of head and neck tumors often leads to acute reactions of the adjacent normal tissues resulting e.g. in mucositis and xerostomia. Therefore, radioprotective drugs have been developed to reduce these effects. Studies on a tumor model using amifostine and sodium selenite adjuvant to fractionated irradiation should show whether the radioprotective effect on normal tissue le...
PURPOSE This Phase I study was designed primarily to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of irinotecan and cisplatin with and without amifostine in children with refractory solid tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS Cisplatin, at a fixed dose of 30 mg/m(2), and escalating doses of irinotecan (starting dose, 40 mg/m(2)) were administered weekly for four conse...
