amifostine anhydrous and Cataract

amifostine anhydrous has been researched along with Cataract in 11 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.

Cataract: Partial or complete opacity on or in the lens or capsule of one or both eyes, impairing vision or causing blindness. The many kinds of cataract are classified by their morphology (size, shape, location) or etiology (cause and time of occurrence). (Dorland, 27th ed)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" 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. ( Eksborg, S; Jahnukainen, K; Jahnukainen, T; Salmi, TT; Söder, O; Svechnikov, K, 2001)
"Pantethine and the amino phosphorothioate, WR-77913, protected lenses against increased light scattering and opacification during cataract formation in five animal models: (1) radiation, (2) selenite, (3) galactose, (4) streptozotocin and (5) Royal College of Surgeons."3.69Delay or inhibition of rat lens opacification using pantethine and WR-77913. ( Clark, JI; Livesey, JC; Steele, JE, 1996)
"A phase separation inhibitor, WR77913 [S-3(amino-2-hydroxypropyl) phosphorothioate], was tested for its effects on lens opacification in the radiation (RAD), selenite (SEL), galactose (GAL), streptozotocin (STZ), and Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) models for cataract."3.68Phase separation inhibitors and lens transparency. ( Clark, JI; Livesey, JC; Steele, JE, 1993)
"The variation of the phase-separation temperature (Tc) was studied in lenses during formation of cataracts induced by a subcutaneous injection of sodium selenite."3.68Phase-separation inhibitors and prevention of selenite cataract. ( Clark, JI; Steele, JE, 1992)
"Galactose, and the phosphorothioates, WR-77913 and WR-2721, which inhibit cataract produced by X-irradiation, were evaluated for their effects on the phase separation temperature, Tc, of calf lens homogenate."3.67Inhibition of phase separation by reagents that prevent X-irradiation cataract in vivo. ( Clark, JI; Osgood, TB; Trask, SJ, 1987)
"Radiation induced cataracts are models for studying mechanisms of lens opacification."1.27Inhibition of lens opacification in x-irradiated rats treated with WR-77913. ( Clark, JI; Krohn, KA; Menard, TW; Osgood, TB, 1986)
