amifostine anhydrous and Alopecia

amifostine anhydrous has been researched along with Alopecia in 3 studies

Amifostine: A phosphorothioate proposed as a radiation-protective agent. It causes splenic vasodilation and may block autonomic ganglia.
amifostine : An organic thiophosphate that is the S-phospho derivative of 2-[(3-aminopropyl)amino]ethanethiol. A prodrug for the free thiol, WR-1065, which is used as a cytoprotectant in cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Alopecia: Absence of hair from areas where it is normally present.

"Forty women with metastatic breast cancer were randomized to receive either paclitaxel alone (arm 1) or paclitaxel preceded by amifostine (arm 2)."9.09Randomized phase II study of high-dose paclitaxel with or without amifostine in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

" However, amifostine did not protect young rats against the late toxic effect of doxoubicin on linear growth, body weight, plasma leptin levels, and heart or testicular tissue."3.71Amifostine protects against early but not late toxic effects of doxorubicin in infant rats.
