amifostine anhydrous and Leukopenia

amifostine anhydrous has been researched along with Leukopenia 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.

Leukopenia: A decrease in the number of LEUKOCYTES in a blood sample below the normal range (LEUKOCYTE COUNT less than 4000).

" We conclude that WR-2721 is a potentially toxic compound that produces no amelioration of cyclophosphamide toxicity in the doses used."2.65Clinical trial of the effect of S-2-(3-aminopropylamino)-ethylphosphorothioic acid (WR-2721) (NSC 296961) on the toxicity of cyclophosphamide. ( Ayoob, MJ; Dritschilo, A; Smith, FP; Woolley, PV, 1983)
" 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.
