amifostine anhydrous and Benign Neoplasms, Brain

amifostine anhydrous has been researched along with Benign Neoplasms, Brain in 6 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.

" Doxorubicin, vincristine, etoposide, cisplatin, 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide and 4-hydroperoxyifosfamide were equally cytotoxic with and without preincubation of WR-2721 (14 mM) or WR-1065 (40 microM) as shown by virtually identical dose-response curves and ID50 values."1.30Effects of WR-2721 (amifostine) and its metabolite WR-1065 on the antiproliferative activity of chemotherapeutic agents on neuroblastoma cells in vitro.
