amifostine anhydrous and Cancer of Colon

amifostine anhydrous has been researched along with Cancer of Colon 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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"A total of 92 patients with colorectal cancer or gastric cancer were enrolled, and randomly assigned to receive amifostine (500 mg/m2)(amifostine group, 46 patients) or glutamine (1500 mg/m2) (control group, 46 patients) just before oxaliplatin infusion."2.73[Prophylactic effect of amifostine on oxaliplatin-related neurotoxicity in patients with digestive tract tumors]. ( Fan, QX; Lu, P; Wang, LX; Wang, RL; Wang, X; Zong, H, 2008)
"By contrast, 60% of the tumors analyzed showed a loss of IAP expression in both epithelial cells and stroma, and only 10% to 15% of them demonstrated nuclear/cytoplasmic reactivity, which was confined to the epithelial cells."1.31Down-regulation of intestinal-type alkaline phosphatase in the tumor vasculature and stroma provides a strong basis for explaining amifostine selectivity. ( Giatromanolaki, A; Koukourakis, MI; Maltezos, E; Sivridis, E, 2002)
" injection of 200 mg/kg WR-2721 at 5 min prior to the administration of this combination enabled us to increase the CBDCA dose from a nontoxic level of 45 mg/kg to a normally toxic dose of 60 mg/kg in non-tumor-bearing BALB/c mice while maintaining the 5FU dose at 100 mg/kg."1.28Effect of WR-2721 on the toxicity and antitumor activity of the combination of carboplatin and 5-fluorouracil. ( Peters, GJ; Treskes, M; van der Vijgh, WJ; van der Wilt, CL; van Laar, JA, 1992)
